Is there a way to have a control hide and re-evaluate it's visible condition each time a list item changes?

i guess you're looking for something like this:

Code:

<control type="foo">
   ...
   <animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="0">Hidden</animation>
   <animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="200">Visible</animation>
   <visible>!Container.OnNext + !Container.OnPrevious</visible>
</control>

If that works I'm gonna shoot myself right in the face. It's so simple I could have sworn I tried that or something very similar, I think I was using visiblechange instead of both a visible and hidden tag. Maybe that's why it didn't work right. Thanks for the help!

The hidden animation type didn't work for some reason and actually made the control always visible.

I ended up with this instead; The second control is identical to the first and is only visible when the first control becomes hidden then fades itself out. I deleted an include from the second that contained the list item label so that it still kinda looks like it's fading out the first control.

PHP Code:

<control type="group" id="68">
        <posy>646</posy>
        <posx>0</posx>
        <description>Wall View Bottom Bar Area</description>
        <include>WallInfoPaneImage</include>
        <include>WallInfoPaneMediaDetails</include>
        <visible>!Container.OnNext + !Container.OnPrevious</visible>
        <animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="400" delay="2500">Visible</animation>
        </control>
<control type="group">
        <posy>646</posy>
        <posx>0</posx>
        <description>Wall View Bottom Bar Area</description>
        <include>WallInfoPaneImage</include>
        <visible>!Control.IsVisible(68)</visible>
        <animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="200">Visible</animation>
</control> 


Now as long as this works on the xbox I'll be happy! Thanks again for the help!
