Question Control storyboard inside custom control...by code

[Jayme65]

Hello,
How do I please control (start, stop, pause, go to specific time) a controltemplate storyboard inside a custom control..by code?

The XAML:

<Window
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d" x:Class="Window6"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="394" Width="324">
    <Window.Resources>
        <!-- ********** Button template **********-->
        <Style x:Key="Arrow" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
            <Setter Property="Template">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}" x:Name="CTarrow">
                        <ControlTemplate.Resources>
                            <Storyboard x:Key="Storyboard1" RepeatBehavior="Forever" AutoReverse="True">
                                <ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Shape.Fill).(SolidColorBrush.Color)" Storyboard.TargetName="rectangle">
                                    <DiscreteColorKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="#FF0080FF"/>
                                    <DiscreteColorKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.5" Value="#FF004D99"/>
                                    <DiscreteColorKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.8" Value="#FF0080FF"/>
                                </ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
                            </Storyboard>
                        </ControlTemplate.Resources>
                        <Grid>
                            <ContentPresenter RecognizesAccessKey="True" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
                            <Rectangle x:Name="rectangle" Height="30" Width="50" Fill="Black" />
                        </Grid>
                    </ControlTemplate>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Style>    
    </Window.Resources>
    
    <Grid>
          <Button HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Style="{DynamicResource Arrow}" x:Name="Arrow" />
   </Grid>
</Window>

In these 3 attemps, the debugger complains about not being able to resolve 'rectangle':

Dim myStoryboard As New Storyboard
myStoryboard = Arrow.FindResource("Storyboard1")
myStoryboard.Begin()

Dim myStoryboard As New Storyboard
myStoryboard = CType(Me.Resources("Storyboard1"), Storyboard)
myStoryboard.Begin(Arrow)

Dim myStoryboard As Storyboard = TryCast(Arrow.Template.Resources("Storyboard1"), Storyboard)
If myStoryboard IsNot Nothing Then
  myStoryboard.Begin(Arrow)
End If

With this one, I can verify that neither the template is not found:

Dim ct As ControlTemplate = TryCast(Me.FindName("CTarrow"), ControlTemplate)
If ct IsNot Nothing Then
   Debug.Print("ControlTemplate found")
   Dim sb As Storyboard = TryCast(ct.Resources("Storyboard1"), Storyboard)
   If sb IsNot Nothing Then
     sb.Begin()
     Debug.Print("Storyboard found")
   End If
End If

Please help!! ;-)
