Some affect on buttons when button click

Question

Dear All,
I have 6 buttons in windows phone application page with Custom Control Template. I have also capture "Pressed" VisualState and change the button color which working fine.
However when any button click then I want to hide a all other buttons for 2 seconds and keep this Pressed button (in Pressed visual state) visible only. Is there any way to achieve this goal in "Pressed" VisualState?
I capture "Click" event of button and in this click, tried following codes
btnNearest.Opacity = 0;
btnInstructions.Opacity = 0;
btnFavorities.Opacity = 0;
btnServices.Opacity = 0;
btnInformationi.Opacity = 0;
Thread.Sleep(2180);
this.NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri(sUrl, UriKind.Relative));
However all buttons does not hide, but it looks when it navigate to new page then button hides but not during "Thread.Sleep".
Is there any way to hide all buttons for just 2 seconds and keep Pressed button visible (in Pressed state)?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Vineet24,
Thank you for your message. It was good work-around but I am afraid, it does not work for me. Actually I am using Custom Template of button so only changing Button color will not help in this case. Following is the custom template which I used
on all buttons
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage
xmlns:vsm="clr-namespace:System.Windows;assembly=System.Windows"
........>
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<Style x:Key="CircleButtonTextOnlyStyle" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="/Fonts/DroidKufi-Regular.ttf#Droid Arabic Kufi" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="18" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5">
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform Rotation="-5.75"/>
</Grid.RenderTransform>
<vsm:VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<vsm:VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<vsm:VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>
<vsm:VisualState x:Name="MouseOver">
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Duration="0" Storyboard.TargetName="buttonPath" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Path.Fill).(SolidColorBrush.Color)" To="#a9873c"/>
<ColorAnimation Duration="0" Storyboard.TargetName="buttonPath" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Path.Stroke).(SolidColorBrush.Color)" To="#a9873c"/>
</Storyboard>
</vsm:VisualState>
<vsm:VisualState x:Name="Pressed">
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Duration="0:10:59.9" Storyboard.TargetName="buttonPath" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Path.Fill).(SolidColorBrush.Color)" To="#a9873c"/>
<ColorAnimation Duration="0:10:59.9" Storyboard.TargetName="buttonPath" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Path.Stroke).(SolidColorBrush.Color)" To="#a9873c"/>
</Storyboard>
</vsm:VisualState>
</vsm:VisualStateGroup>
</vsm:VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<!--Data="M 10 20 L 70 17, 145 20, 110 130 70 128 50 130 Z"-->
<Path x:Name="buttonPath"
Data="M 5 20 L 80 23, 50 95 25 95 Z"
StrokeThickness="40"
StrokeLineJoin="Round"
Stroke="#464646"
Fill="#464646" />
<ContentPresenter VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalAlignment}"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
Thank you once again.
