Show a sequence of images in WPF then close form

I have a window that shows an open lock.
When the user clicks a button the lock must change to closed, wait a second and then close the windows.
How can I do that using WPF?
Here is my initial xaml:
<Button Grid.Row="2" BorderThickness="0" Background="Transparent" Margin="32"
IsTabStop="False" Click="BtnUnlockClick">
<Button.Content>
<Grid>
<Image Grid.Row="1" Source="/Common.Wpf;component/images/unlocked.png" Visibility="Visible" Name="imgUnlocked"/>
<Image Grid.Row="1" Source="/Common.Wpf;component/images/locked.png" Visibility="Collapsed" Name="imgLocked"/>
</Grid>
</Button.Content>
</Button>
and C#:
private void BtnUnlockClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//do stuff here
}

Put only one Image element into the Button's Content.
<Button Click="BtnUnlockClick" ...>
<Image Source="/Common.Wpf;component/images/unlocked.png"/>
</Button>
In the Click event handler change its Source, wait a second, then close the Window. The handler method must be declared async.
private async void BtnUnlockClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var image = (Image)((Button)sender).Content;
image.Source = new BitmapImage(
new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Common.Wpf;component/images/locked.png"));
await Task.Delay(1000);
Close();
}

RightTapped Holding Event Only Happening Once

I have the below code but it is only happening once on first hold and not after.
Properly something is very simple but it can't seem to find a answer.
private void Contact_Tap_1_Holding(object sender, RightTappedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
contactSelected = 1;
this.Frame.Navigate(typeof(ContactAddPopUp));
}
<Button x:Name="Contact_1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="40,464,51,0"
RightTapped="Contact_Tap_1_Holding" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="72"
Background="#ff4081" FontSize="11" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="#FFFFFF"
Click="button_Click" Content="Contact 1" />
Thanks!

How focus out the Cursor from textbox in wpf?

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<TextBox x:Name="TxtFocusOut" Height="74" Margin="186,149,225,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" FontSize="26.667" TextChanged="TextBox_TextChanged"/>
</Grid>
private void TextBox_TextChanged(object sender, System.Windows.Controls.TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
if(TxtFocusOut.Text.Length>=4)
{
MessageBox.Show("Four you typed four values");
}
}
After I clicked Ok Button On message box,the cursor should be focused out from the texbox.But now it is Blinking in the textbox.What should i do to focused out from the testbox?

FocusManager.SetFocusedElement(AnotherElementID);
by doing this the this will loose its foucs and foucs can be use for another element.
or
Keyboard.ClearFocus();

try any of these

Hide/Display XAML elements or block LostFocus event

I have a page containing two StackPanels, each containing one TextBox and one Button:
<StackPanel x:Name="Row1">
<TextBox x:Name="TextBox1" Text="" GotFocus="OnFocusHandler" LostFocus="OffFocusHandler"/>
<Button x:Name="Button1" Content="Convert" Click="OnClickHandler" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel x:Name="Row2">
<TextBox x:Name="TextBox2" Text="" GotFocus="OnFocusHandler" LostFocus="OffFocusHandler"/>
<Button x:Name="Button2" Content="Convert" Click="OnClickHandler" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
</StackPanel>
I would like to do the following:
When a textbox has focus, the other textbox must be hidden and the corresponding button must show
When a textbox is out of focus, we are back to the original display: only empty textboxes are visible
I don't want the button to be able to trigger the OffFocusHandler
This is the current code that I have for the three handlers:
private void OnFocusHandler(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
TextBox SenderTextBox = (TextBox)sender;
if (SenderPanel.Name == "TextBox1")
{
Button1.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
else if (SenderPanel.Name == "TextBox2")
{
Button2.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
}
private void OffFocusHandler(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
TextBox1.Text = "";
TextBox2.Text = "";
Button1.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
Button2.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}
private void OnClickHandler(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// some stuff unrelated to my issue
}
How do I avoid the button clicking to trigger the OffFocusHandler code?
Is there another way to code this? I'm a complete beginner so I may not think the right way.

You can just Bind to the TextBox.IsFocused property in Xaml, and use the BooleanToVisibilityConverter to show/hide the button.
Example:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication4.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication4"
Title="MainWindow" Height="300" Width="400" Name="UI" >
<Window.Resources>
<BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="BoolTovisible" />
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<StackPanel x:Name="Row1" Height="54" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<TextBox x:Name="TextBox1" Text="" />
<Button x:Name="Button1" Content="Convert" Visibility="{Binding ElementName=TextBox1, Path=IsFocused, Converter={StaticResource BoolTovisible}}"/>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel x:Name="Row2" Margin="0,60,0,0" Height="51" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<TextBox x:Name="TextBox2" Text="" />
<Button x:Name="Button2" Content="Convert" Visibility="{Binding ElementName=TextBox2, Path=IsFocused, Converter={StaticResource BoolTovisible}}"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</Window>

for each element, there is a Visibility tag, it is "Visible" by default but you can assign "Hidden" or "Collapsed" as follow:
<RadioButton Margin="20,118,318,-43" GroupName="MCSites" Visibility="Hidden">
Radio Button Description
</RadioButton>

creating multiple panels and displaying one panel on button click in wpf

I am new to WPF and I want to create a WPF application with 5buttons. On the click of each button I want a content to be displayed on another panel. Right now I just want different images to be displayed on my right side panel on the button clicks.
Here's my XAML code:
<Window x:Class="GridButton.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MyFirstApp" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
<Viewbox Stretch="Fill" StretchDirection="Both">
<DockPanel>
<StackPanel DockPanel.Dock="left" Margin="5" Width="Auto" VerticalAlignment="Center" Height="Auto">
<Button Content="1" Name="button2" Click="button2_Click">
</Button>
<Button Content="2" Name="button1" Click="button1_Click_1">
</Button>
<Button Content="3" Name="button3" Click="button3_Click">
</Button>
<Button Content="4" Name="button4" Margin="5">
</Button>
<Button Content="5" Name="button5" Margin="5" Click="button5_Click_1">
</Button>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel DockPanel.Dock="Right">
<Image Name="img1" Source="Blue Hills.jpg" Stretch="Uniform" Visibility="Hidden" ImageFailed="Image_ImageFailed" Height="257" />
</StackPanel>
</DockPanel>
And my xaml.cs file contains code to display image:
private void button2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
img1.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
I could get only this far.

You can set the Source property of the Image control in code:
private void buttonx_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
string path = ... // path to image file here
img1.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(path));
}
You could easily reuse the same Click handler for all Buttons and check which one was pressed:
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Button button = sender as Button;
string path = null;
if (button == button1)
{
path = ... // path to image file 1 here
}
else if ...
if (path != null)
{
img1.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(path));
}
}
If you want to remove the a child Panel (or other control) from a parent Panel and add another one, you would have to modify the Panel's Children property:
<StackPanel Name="parent">
<StackPanel Name="child" />
</StackPanel>
parent.Children.Remove(child);
parent.Children.Add(...); // some other control here
This approach would usually make sense if you wanted to create child panels dynamically. If you want to declare everything in XAML you may put all child panels in a Grid and change their visibility as you did already.
However, you might also change the ZIndex attached property.
<Grid>
<StackPanel Name="child1">
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Name="child2">
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Name="child3">
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
child3 is topmost by default, but now you can set ZIndex to some value > 0 to make another child topmost:
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
...
// reset ZIndex on previous topmost panel to 0 before
Panel.SetZIndex(child1, 1);
}
Or completely omit the Button/Grid/Panel design and use a TabControl.
