I want a control to slide in when a window is opened, but then slide out again automatically after a given number of seconds. I haven't been able to do this because XBMC's animations are triggered by state changes, and nothing's actually changing in the above situation.

I've tried setting both the slide in and slide out animations to trigger when the window's opened, putting a delay on the slide out one, but the control just stays there. It never slides out.

Any ideas?

The reason it dosn't work is you can only have 1 window open animation per control
Th first suggestion I think of is group the control and have 1 window open anmation on the group and another on the control

But you really didn't give a hell of a lot of detail to give you a specific way to fix it

Cheers for that. I managed to nail it in the end using groups.
