I have a page transition ( a control ) in the MainWindow , I have many user control pages , I want to access the page transition in the MainWindow from my user control page ? How do I do that? I tried :

        Story page = new Story();
        NavigationService nav = NavigationService.GetNavigationService(this);
        // Navigate to the page, using the NavigationService
      //  if (nav != null)
       // { 
        //    nav.Navigate(page);
            MainWindow test = new MainWindow();
            test.pageTransition1.ShowPage(page);

    //    }
