Does anyone know of a way to trigger an animation when a grouplist scrolls to the next item?

I have a horizontal grouplist with arrows on the side to show that there is more content offscreen to scroll to. I want to hide those arrows whilst the grouplist is scrolling.

For a normal list control I would use something like <visible>!Container(9000).OnNext</visible> and then have a delayed non-reversible visible fade animation, but that doesn't seem to work with a grouplist control.

Does anyone have any tricks/hacks for for this?

just an idea

<visible>!Container.Scrolling</visible>

<visible>!Container.Scrolling</visible>

Nup. I already tried that and it didn't work. I also tried OnScrollNext which didn't work either.

Depending on what you trying to achieve, maybe you can use System.IdleTime(1) to detect input while the grouplist is focused...
So it'd be something like:

Code:

<visible>!ControlGroup(id).HasFocus() | [ControlGroup(id).HasFocus() + System.IdleTime(1)]</visible>

Did you try setting a hidden scrollbar and then using his visibility while scrolling?
And I guess you could use static container too, then Container.Scrolling should work fine...

Yeah I did try system.idletime - it works, but not really suitable as it is a group list containing multiple panel controls, so there is movement even when not scrolling.

Using a hidden scrollbar sounds like a really clever idea. I'll give it a go when I'm back home.

 Unsure about the state, but i came across a similiar issue, where i want to trigger animation "OnNext/Previous "

As this are not working working
Container(id).OnNext
Container(id).OnScrollNext
Container(id).OnPrevious
Container(id).OnScrollPrevious
Container(id).Scrolling

I use Animations , for your case i think a fade should work.
Unsure if you use horizontal, or vertical.
Im going with "column()" for horizontal.
( For vertical Layout Container(id).Row(row), should be fine )

For Anim

xml:
<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="300" condition="Container(50).Column(0)" reversible="false">conditional</animation>

<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="300" condition="Container(50).Column(1)" reversible="false">conditional</animation>

<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="300" condition="Container(50).Column(2)" reversible="false">conditional</animation>

<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="300" condition="Container(50).Column(...)" reversible="false">conditional</animation>

           ....

But maybe a visible condition can do the the same,
so the "arrows" just show up if given column has focus.

mxl:
<visible>Container(50).Column(...) + Integer.IsGreaterOrEqual(Container.NumItems(...))</visible>

@mardukL - That is a clever idea, but it doesn't appear to work for grouplists. I did do something similar, but it meant that I had to give ever item in the grouplist an id:

Code:


<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="300" condition="ControlGroup(9000).HasFocus(5000)" reversible="false">conditional</animation>
<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="300" condition="ControlGroup(9000).HasFocus(6000)" reversible="false">conditional</animation>
<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="300" condition="ControlGroup(9000).HasFocus(7000)" reversible="false">conditional</animation>
