Opening a popup with a delay

[Laurent Bugnion [MVP]]

Hey guys,

 

Is there a way to open a popup with a slight delay (like a tooltip, not immediately when I mouse over an element) without using some code?

 

Cheers,

Laurent

for tool tips you can use the attached property
ToolTipService.InitialShowDelay

Could you use a StoryBoard and animate the IsOpen property of Popup using DiscreteAnimation or something like that

There is also PopupAnimation that you can use. It is a enum-based
property of the Popup control.

This works (paste into Kaxaml):

    <DataTemplate>
    <Grid>
    <CheckBox x:Name="cb" Width="100" Height="40">Click Me</CheckBox>
    <Popup x:Name="popup" Placement="Bottom" PlacementTarget="{Binding ElementName=cb}">
      <Border Width="400" Height="400" Background="Red"/>
    </Popup>
    </Grid>
    <DataTemplate.Triggers>
      <Trigger SourceName="cb" Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
        <Trigger.EnterActions>
          <BeginStoryboard x:Name="bsb">
            <Storyboard>
              <BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames
                Storyboard.TargetName="popup"
                Storyboard.TargetProperty="IsOpen"
                FillBehavior="HoldEnd">
                <DiscreteBooleanKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:1.0" Value="True"/>
               </BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
            </Storyboard>
          </BeginStoryboard>
        </Trigger.EnterActions>
        <Trigger.ExitActions>
          <StopStoryboard BeginStoryboardName="bsb"/>
        </Trigger.ExitActions>
      </Trigger>
    </DataTemplate.Triggers>

Thanks guys. Yes storyboard seems the only way to go to do that in pure XAML.

 

Marlon, I cannot use a tooltip, the popup needs to remain open as long as the mouse is on the target or on the popup.

 

Pavan, PopupAnimation=Fade but it is still too fast, I want to avoid the popup popping up as soon as the mouse passes over the target, it is disturbing.

 

Thanks a lot guys!!
