I have a vertical group list bottom aligned with controls for clearlogo, sublabel, plot and buttons as seen below.

I want to the plot textbox to disappear with a slide down animation and the clearlogo and sublabel to also slide down and stop above the buttons. But I'm not properly understanding animations, sorry, only starting to learn them now.
I figured a slide animation could work for the textbox with a slightly delayed fade animation to hide the textbox. And then just use the same slide animation (without the fade for the clearlogo and sublabel controls) so they end up just above the buttons.
This works but I actually have no idea how to trigger this animation or how to make it start after XX seconds. For testing purposes I just used animation type =WindowOpen and a skin reload to trigger it so the animation does works OK. Then I try to add the XX second delay but it ends up making the textbox control hidden until after the delay time ends (which I'm guessing is something to do with the animation type WindowOpen?)
So my questions are, is slide down + fade animation the best way to achieve the effect I'm after and if so, how do I fix this code for my textbox?

<animation type="WindowOpen" condition="" reversible="false">
<effect type="Fade" start="100" end="0" time="50" delay="2800" />
<effect type="slide" end="0,115" time="500" delay = "2000" />
</animation>
