// the settings overlay closer
private void ReturnButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Debug.WriteLine("recieved initial visibility: " + this.Visibility);
    Debug.WriteLine("recieved initial width: " + this.Width);
    double targetWidth = 0;
    TimeSpan duration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5);

    DoubleAnimation widthAnimation = new DoubleAnimation
    {
        From = this.ActualWidth,
        To = targetWidth,
        Duration = new Duration(duration),
        EasingFunction = new CubicEase { EasingMode = EasingMode.EaseOut }
    };

    widthAnimation.Completed += (s, e) =>
    {
        this.Width = double.NaN;
        this.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden;

        Debug.WriteLine("closed visibility: " + this.Visibility);
        Debug.WriteLine("closed width: " + this.Width);
    };

    this.BeginAnimation(FrameworkElement.WidthProperty, widthAnimation);
}
}

Does the animation automatically set the "visibility" back to visible? Or else that seems like the reason? 🙂

zeroo•3mo ago

i made it set the visibility when the animation is completed

iXyles•3mo ago

Ah right now I saw it, sorry - out of luck from a quick look at it 😄

zeroo•3mo ago

no problem dont worry im still tryna figure it out could it be a overlapping issue @iXyles i tried debugging it Initial visibility: Hidden opening visibility: Visible opening width: 450 recieved initial visibility: Visible recieved initial width: 450 closed visibility: Hidden closed width: 0 Initial visibility: Hidden opening visibility: Visible opening width: 450 it opens it but its not showing i stilll need help if anyone could help

What's the difference between ActualWidth and Width?

zeroo•3mo ago

well ActualWidth gets the current width also 1 is read only and one is writable what actual width does is ig get the actual width after creating the layout if im not wrong

arion•3mo ago

In your closing animation, your target is 0 Width. But when you complete it you set it to NAN. Is there a reason behind this?

zeroo•3mo ago

to make it fill the ui double.nan is auto

arion•3mo ago

When closing it fills the UI?

zeroo•3mo ago

ig i tried with 0 but nothing rlly changes

arion•3mo ago

What do you mean?

zeroo•3mo ago

i mean the problem

arion•3mo ago

So you've tried it without the SettingsOverlay.Width = double.NaN;? If so isn't its assignment redundant?

zeroo•3mo ago

i mean i tried also using 0 as width but its still the same problem

arion•3mo ago

Hm, okay then. What's the classes for the first and second method? Is the first "SettingsOverlay" right?
