I have been trying to animate the opening of a UserControl with no luck and was wondering if anyone could help?
I have a UserControl which simply holds information about a record. It opens up as a box on an existing page, however I would like the box to open with a simple animation. I'm trying to get the box to open with an expanding animation instead of the box just appearing.
Below is the code I have been working on.
<UserControl Name="RecordViewerUserControl"

I have changed my code according to #jrb 's advice...]
<UserControl.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="UserControl.Loaded">
<EventTrigger.Actions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="RecordViewerUserControl" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Width" To="600"/>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="RecordViewerUserControl" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Height" To="490"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger.Actions>
</EventTrigger>
</UserControl.Triggers>
I have inserted this just after the initial UserControl opening tag.
It is not complaining anymore when the app is run, however it doesn't seem to be having an effect.
Any ideas? Am I missing something in the code behind?
I think your animation values are wrong, in the end you should have a value of 1 (100% size) not 0.
Why do you animate on the first child of LayoutRoot? You should have RecordViewerUserControl as animation target instead.
I suggest you test setting the size on the usercontrol to 1 then use event trigger loaded (i think) and a simple doubleanimation to increase the size of the control.
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Loaded">
This is a working example, you can test it in kaxaml.

I have the following XAML Code:
<Window.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Key="IconFileChangeColor">
<ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="colorFile" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Color" RepeatBehavior="Forever" AutoReverse="True">
<EasingColorKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="#FF690000"/>
<EasingColorKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:1.5" Value="#FFC33939"/>
</ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</Window.Resources>
<Window.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent= "FrameworkElement.Loaded">
<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource IconFileChangeColor}" />
</EventTrigger>
</Window.Triggers>
C# Code that should stop the animation:
Storyboard fileAnimation = (Storyboard)TryFindResource("IconFileChangeColor");
fileAnimation.Stop();
The Animation starts up fine. However if I execute the C# Code it does not stop the animation... Does anybody know why?
I have a list view that is being populated with wrap panels through my binding. My code currently will animate the opacity on MouseEnter (opacity up to 1.0) and MouseLeave (opacity down to {Binding PanelOpacity}) just fine. However, when I select a different wrap panel, I need the storyboard for MouseLeave to fire to reduce the opacity.
Snippet:
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<WrapPanel x:Name="panelObject" Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="5,7">
<WrapPanel.InputBindings>
<MouseBinding MouseAction="LeftClick"
Command="{Binding DataContext.GridClickCmd, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Grid}}"
CommandParameter="{Binding Server}"/>
</WrapPanel.InputBindings>
<WrapPanel.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type WrapPanel}">
<Style.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="Red" />
</Style.Resources>
<Setter Property="Opacity" Value="{Binding PanelOpacity}" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Opacity" Value="1.0" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</WrapPanel.Style>
<WrapPanel.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseEnter">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard x:Name="FadeIn">
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
To="1.0" Duration="0:0:0.2" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseLeave">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard x:Name="FadeOut">
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
To="{Binding PanelOpacity}" Duration="0:0:0.2" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="SourceUpdated">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard x:Name="ChangeSelection">
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
To="{Binding PanelOpacity}" Duration="0:0:0.2" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</WrapPanel.Triggers>
</WrapPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
I've tried using a few different Routed Events and none of them seem to fire when a different wrap panel is clicked.
Last thing I tried was this:
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="SourceUpdated">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard x:Name="ChangeSelection">
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
To="{Binding PanelOpacity}" Duration="0:0:0.2" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
Edit: I've got this in my C#. It works fine currently, without animation:
_viewModel.MainPanel.ToList().Find(x => x.Server == (string)parameter).PanelOpacity = 1.0;
_viewModel.MainPanel.ToList().FindAll(x => x.Server != (string)parameter).ForEach(x => x.PanelOpacity = 0.5);
Second Edit: Added more tags to show location of code.
Final Edit: full ItemTemplate code added.
I'm trying to animate a canvas in WPF using Storyboard and DoubleAnimationsUsingKeyFrames my code goes something like this:
<Canvas x:Name="bgCanvas" Height="261" Canvas.Top="-262" Width="720">
<Canvas.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="Resources/backgroundBlurred.png" Stretch="UniformToFill"/>
</Canvas.Background>
<Canvas.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Key="bgAnim" x:Name="bgAnim">
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(bgCanvas.Opacity)" Storyboard.Target="bgCanvas">
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="0" />
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="1.5" Value="1"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</Canvas.Resources>
I'm also using Mahapps.Metro for the project. <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(bgCanvas.Opacity)" Storyboard.Target="bgCanvas"> is underlined by blue lines and the error reads:
bgCanvas is not supported in a Windows Presentation Format (WPF) Application.
I'm not sure whats wrong with the code.
BONUS: Is this the right way to animate a canvas in WPF?
Sorry for the nub questions.
You could start the animation in an EventTrigger on the Loaded event of the Canvas:
<Canvas ...>
<Canvas.Background>
<ImageBrush .../>
</Canvas.Background>
<Canvas.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Loaded">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity">
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="0" />
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:1.5" Value="1"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Canvas.Triggers>
</Canvas>
Replace (bgCanvas.Opacity) with (Canvas.Opacity)
I'm developing a WPF Application for Touch Devices. I want a behaviour like in Android Browser, if you focus a TextBox the screen 'zooms' in so you only see the TextBox and the virtual Keyboard.
I have already tried Scaling the TextBox and setting the Position if it has Focus but that doesn't work right. If somebody could point me in the right direction i would appreciate that.
you can achieve this function from this code
<TextBox Background="LightGreen" Width="100" Height="100" BorderBrush="Green">
<TextBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBox">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="True">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ThicknessAnimation Duration="0:0:0.400" To="3" Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderThickness" />
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0:0:0.300" To="125" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Height" />
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0:0:0.300" To="125" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Width" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ThicknessAnimation Duration="0:0:0.250" To="0" Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderThickness" />
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0:0:0.150" To="100" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Height" />
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0:0:0.150" To="100" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Width" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBox.Style>
</TextBox>
I have a style for a ListViewItem control:
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="ListViewItem.MouseEnter">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="BitmapEffect.Opacity"
From="0.0" To="1.0" Duration="0:0:0.5" AutoReverse="False" SpeedRatio="2" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="ListViewItem.MouseLeave">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="BitmapEffect.Opacity"
From="1.0" To="0.0" Duration="0:0:0.5" AutoReverse="False" SpeedRatio="2" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
I want to when mouse is over a ListViewItem, border of item appearing slowly and when mouse leave it, border effect disappear,
But i get this error when mouse goes to leave item:
Cannot resolve all property references in the property path 'BitmapEffect.Opacity'. Verify
that applicable objects support the properties.
Note that when i use only first EventTrigger which routed to ListViewItem.MouseEnter, program works correct! but it has not a good view!
I'm using OuterGlowBitmapEffect!
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter Property="BitmapEffect">
<Setter.Value>
<OuterGlowBitmapEffect GlowColor="SkyBlue" GlowSize="20" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black" />
</Trigger>
I was trying with BitmapEffect, it is working fine as your above code.
<Style x:Key="ListBoxItemStyle1" TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="BitmapEffect">
<Setter.Value>
<OuterGlowBitmapEffect GlowColor="Blue" GlowSize="5" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="ListViewItem.MouseEnter">
<EventTrigger.Actions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="BitmapEffect.Opacity"
From="0.0" To="1.0" Duration="0:0:0.5" AutoReverse="False" SpeedRatio="2" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger.Actions>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="ListViewItem.MouseLeave">
<EventTrigger.Actions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="BitmapEffect.Opacity"
From="1.0" To="0.0" Duration="0:0:0.5" AutoReverse="False" SpeedRatio="2" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger.Actions>
</EventTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
