i use materialDesign Mahapps at c# wpf.
and i want make some floating button that open and spread other button when i click it.
i saw CircularFloatingActionMenu animation in android.
i already saw it
https://github.com/MaterialDesignInXAML
but i couldn't get something.
please see this(CircularFloatingActionMenu animation) and this(https://github.com/wasabeef/awesome-android-ui/blob/master/art/CircularFloatingActionMenu.gif) and know me how do i make it...
What you'll need is to use a StoryBoard Microsoft Documentation in WPF to animate several properties of the animated buttons such as Width/Height/Rotation/Opacity and X/Y to appropriate final location. You'll probably need another one to do the reverse.

I want to add transitional effects to my form and let my panels come and go smoothly. I just found this component named "Transition Manager"(DevExpress) and I think it can help, but I don't know how.
I've already chose the control I want to fade away , but no visible success.
When I code like this:
transitionManager1.StartTransition(panel2);
I get error telling me that thread.cs can't be found in DevExpress.Utils!!
this component looks like this when added to windows form:
PS: If you know any component which is a borderless panel and features transitions, let me know please. Thanks.
Dev express has build-in transition control on several UI controls. Please check the properties of the specific control. eg:
this screenshot demonstrates the transition of two tab panel,
or you need provide the more details
I'm trying to implement something with the MahApps.Metro style. In the demo there are always those transitions if I click on another tab, but I think this is a little but too much. I found transitions in the documentation, but how do I manage the transitions of those tabs? Is that possible in some way?
I have been looking through the code of the demo, but I couldn't figure out how to control the transitions of the tabs itself. So everytime the content changes there is this transiton. Either I put in a custom transition or turn it off. How do I achieve this?
In MahApps.Metro, there are a few different types of TabControls. The one you're looking for is the one called MetroTabControl, not MetroAnimatedTabControl.
MetroTabControl is your regular TabControl with the Metro style, minus the transitions.
I have some tiles layed out as buttons in my app. Im not that good at xaml and hope someone here can guide or show how i come around making them behave alittle like the tiles in the start screen of windows.
I have with some template set. How can i add the little border when mouse is moved over it and how do i make it look like it gets pushed down when clicked.
my button is just a sqare box with a background color.
You have to edit the Control template for Button. And add an additional border which should appear on Pointer over state. Write your own animation in Visual State manager to achieve this. To make this more easier just open your project in Expression Blend. Right click the button and choose edit template. the default template will fell into resources, so that you can just modify.

To perform a push effect, need to animate Scale Transform in pointer pressed state.
Regards,
I have an idea for a personal project. And I know one way of accomplishing it in Windows Forms (which I no longer wish to use). Basically I could (in WinForms) just draw everything onto the screen (Form) and then when I need to switch views/states of the application, just redraw the new stuff in the old stuff's place.
But how can we have different states in WPF? Is there a "right" or "proper" way of doing this? Is something like this covered somewhere in the docs?
I'd like to do my own searching, but I have no idea what exactly to look for, and current attempts at finding the right information, so far have yielded no helpful (or even relevant) results.
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. I am new to WPF, but have been making a lot of progress this past week!
Thank you!
P.S.:
I just thouhght of something. If the solution was to draw what is needed for one screen, and when it is time to display the next screen, just dispose of/hide everything and create/display the new stuff, then how would we get around this? Because we can't/shouldn't change XAML markup at runtime, can/should we? :/
Not sure how you drawn your views/states in WinForms (direct painting on a Graphics object?).
The closest to what you're describing is the VisualStateManager. You can use it to statically define several visual states inside a single XAML and transit between them (using a smooth animation if you want).
If what you've done was show different Forms with Show/ShowDialog(), then the equivalent would be to use different Windows and Show/Hide them.
If you just cleared/added Controls to your form, then you can do just the same in WPF. Most Controls in WPF have a Content or Children property instead of Control.Controls in Forms.
I don't know if I understand what you really want. But here are my thoughts:
You can use several Windows and Show/Hide them accordingly
You can use the Frame/Page functionality in WP (MSDN)
if you really need to you could load your XAML and remove the topmost content in your Window and replace it with the loaded content
You could use the VisualStateGroup functionality to change the appearance of your current window
I think you will be happy with the second solution
How would you get a button to look and perform similar to that of the buttons in the volume mixer on Win7?
What I mean is that in the volume mixer there are icons that doesn't look like buttons until you hover them, they also haven't got the standard blueish color when hovered.
So far I haven't found a way to do this directly in visual studio.
I'm guessing that creating a custom user control is the only way to go, but I've had no luck so far, I would appreciate some examples.
In addition, there are also combo boxes in the volume mixer I would like to duplicate. They're hidden except for the text and arrow until they're hovered.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
(Here an image that might help explain what I mean:

For windows application, (and also how they did win7), they used the technology called WPF. I am not specifically answering how you can do this, because in WPF, this is the fundamental that defining skin (via markup called XAML) without touching the implementation code. If you are serious in learning how to do that, I suggest you look for tutorials or good book about WPF.
Here's one of the markup looks like for a button. To modify the button's look, what you need is to define it's XAML, and you don't have to inherit it in the code. The example looks scary long, but Visual Studio could help you.
You could use a third party control library, for example Krypton Toolkit, its free!
There is quite a terrific solution for this button quest. You can paste pictureBoxes on form and handle MouseUp, MouseLeft and MouseDown events. When each of them fires, you need to set specific image (one of tree, in fact) - normal picture, picture of "highlighted" icon and picture of pressed icon. But that's really a hard and useless work, so better don't.
If you need several of such "buttons" in a panel, I remember, I once managed to get the same behaviour by using toolStrip with buttons.
