Hi Josh,
I am struggling with data triggers - I have a class that creates and send messages to a queue, and I have rectangle controls that do glow one by one with about 2 seconds intervals - how can I send a message to the queue everytime the rectangle change colours?
my code snippet looks like this:
...the rectangle that is animated
<Rectangle Canvas.Left="262" Canvas.Top="98" Width="36" Height="23" Name="pl1" Visibility="Visible" Fill="Black" RadiusX="1" RadiusY="1" RenderTransformOrigin="10,0" />
...the animation when a button is clicked
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<!--The color, the duration, and the targeted property that will Be subject of the aniamtion, all parameters are set within the animation tag -->
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="pl1"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Fill).(Color)"
BeginTime="00:00:09"
Duration="00:00:08" AutoReverse="False"
From="Black" To="Orange"
/>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="pl1"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Fill).(Color)"
BeginTime="00:00:09"
Duration="00:00:08" AutoReverse="False"
From="Orange" To="Black"
/>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="light2"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Fill).(Color)"
BeginTime="00:00:10"
Duration="00:00:02" AutoReverse="False"
From="#FFF75F06" To="#3EB80C"
/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
could you help please?

Hi Richard, Thanks for the comment but I can't provide adhoc consultancy to questions like this on the blog. Have you tried www.stackoverflow.com? You'll get an answer there very quickly there I expect! Good luck!
PS - One clue for you though - look into the ViewModel (MVVM) patter to see how you can separate logic like this out of your view (XAML).
