I have a button that I want to translate horizontally, so I use the storyboard like this:
<Button>
<Button.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Button.Click">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Studio" Storyboard.TargetProperty="RenderTransform.(TranslateTransform.X)" From="0" To="5000" Duration="0:0:2">
<DoubleAnimation.EasingFunction>
<CubicEase EasingMode="EaseInOut"/>
</DoubleAnimation.EasingFunction>
</DoubleAnimation>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Button.Triggers>
</Button>
but nothing happens
Nothing happens because there is no TranslateTransform in the Button's RenderTransform.
Just add one, and remove the Storyboard.TargetName from the DoubleAnimation :
<Button ...>
<Button.RenderTransform>
<TranslateTransform/>
</Button.RenderTransform>
<Button.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Button.Click">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetProperty="RenderTransform.X"
To="5000" Duration="0:0:2">
<DoubleAnimation.EasingFunction>
<CubicEase EasingMode="EaseInOut"/>
</DoubleAnimation.EasingFunction>
</DoubleAnimation>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Button.Triggers>
</Button>

I have simple WPF button animation to change Width property when mouse is on button:
<Button Width="100" Height="60" Content="Click Me" x:Name="Button1">
<Button.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseEnter">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Width" To="200" Duration="0:0:0:1" ></DoubleAnimation>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Button.Triggers>
</Button>
But after the animation, Width should get back to "60". How to do that?
Try this..
<Button Width="100" Height="60" Content="Click Me" x:Name="Button1">
<Button.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseEnter">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Width" To="200" Duration="0:0:0:1" ></DoubleAnimation>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseLeave">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Width" To="100" Duration="0:0:0:1" ></DoubleAnimation>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Button.Triggers>
</Button>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Mouse.PreviewMouseDown">
<EventTrigger.Actions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Duration="0:0:0.3"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="MaxHeight"
To="280"
/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger.Actions>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Mouse.MouseLeave">
<EventTrigger.Actions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Duration="0:0:0:1"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="MaxHeight" To="75" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger.Actions>
I am working with the WPF animations using Storyboards. What I want is to fade out all the content of the page as soon as my textbox gets focus, and to fade in everything back as soon as the focus is removed from the textbox. To do that, I have the following XAML with no code behind.
<Page.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="TextBox.GotFocus">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetName="Grid1"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
From="1" To="0.1" Duration="0:0:0.2"
AutoReverse="False" >
</DoubleAnimation>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="TextBox.LostFocus">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetName="Grid1"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
From="0.1" To="1" Duration="0:0:0.2"
AutoReverse="False">
</DoubleAnimation>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
To move focus out of textbox, I have the following button:
<Button
Name="SearchButton"
Height="30" Width="30"
Grid.Column="1"
Focusable="True"
IsHitTestVisible="True"
Style="{StaticResource SearchButton}"
Padding="3,3,3,3"
Margin="3,3,3,3" Click="Button_Click"/>
When I run the app, clicking on the textbox makes the fade out work fine. But when I click on the button, the fade in does not kick in.
Can anyone please give me some insights?
You should place your triggers in the TextBox directly, not on the Page level:
<TextBox>
<TextBox.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="TextBox.GotFocus">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetName="Grid1"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
From="1" To="0.1" Duration="0:0:0.2"
FillBehavior="HoldEnd">
</DoubleAnimation>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="TextBox.LostFocus">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetName="Grid1"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
From="0.1" To="1" Duration="0:0:0.2"
FillBehavior="Stop">
</DoubleAnimation>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</TextBox.Triggers>
</TextBox>
Otherwise, the storyboards will be triggered for each and every GotFocus and LostFocus routed event of each UIElement on the Page because of these events' bubbling strategy.
I have a StackPanel that is being used as a container for other menuing controls. I want the StackPanel to disappear when somewhere else on the UI is clicked (similar to typical menus/context menus). I'm struggling with how to do this. Any suggestions? I've tried event triggers in the style like below but it doesn't seem to work correctly.
<StackPanel.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type StackPanel}">
<Style.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="LostMouseCapture" >
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation From="1" To="0" Duration="0:0:0.1"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</StackPanel.Style>
Set the stackPanel's trigger like this:
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseEnter" >
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation To="1" Duration="0:0:0.1"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
and add this tag to Window (as well as other controls you want to when clicked, hide the stack panel):
<Window.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseDown">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation To="0" Duration="0:0:0.1"
Storyboard.TargetName="disappearingStackPanel"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Window.Triggers>
You can also set IsHitTestVisible=False on controls that don't have mouse interaction so you don't have to add the trigger to them.
I have the following code:
<Window.Background>
<SolidColorBrush Opacity="0.7" Color="White" x:Name="BackgroundBrush"></SolidColorBrush>
</Window.Background>
<Window.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Loaded">
<EventTrigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="1" Duration="0:0:5" Storyboard.TargetName="BackgroundBrush" From="0.7">
</DoubleAnimation>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger.EnterActions>
</EventTrigger>
</Window.Triggers>
But nothing happened when window is shown. Why?
You have to animate the opacity of the window itself, rather than the background.
You need to set AllowsTransparency to true, which also necessitates the WindowStyle to be set to None. (You need to create your own standard window buttons)
In addition to what H.B. said, you need to add your BeginStoryboard to the EventTrigger.Actions collection, not the EnterActions collection. So this works:
<Window.Background>
<SolidColorBrush Opacity="0.7" Color="White" x:Name="BackgroundBrush"></SolidColorBrush>
</Window.Background>
<Window.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Loaded">
<EventTrigger.Actions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="1" Duration="0:0:5" Storyboard.TargetName="BackgroundBrush" From="0.7">
</DoubleAnimation>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger.Actions>
</EventTrigger>
</Window.Triggers>
I have the following xaml that illustrates a circle that grows and shrinks in size. I want my center point of my circle to stay put on my canvas as the animation runs.
<Window.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Window.Loaded">
<EventTrigger.Actions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation RepeatBehavior="Forever" AutoReverse="True" From="10" To="360" Duration="0:0:3" Storyboard.TargetName="GrowMe" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Width"/>
<DoubleAnimation RepeatBehavior="Forever" AutoReverse="True" From="10" To="360" Duration="0:0:3" Storyboard.TargetName="GrowMe" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Height"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger.Actions>
</EventTrigger>
</Window.Triggers>
<Canvas Width="640" Height="480">
<Ellipse Width="10" Height="10" Stroke="Red" Canvas.Left="80" Canvas.Top="31"/>
<Ellipse x:Name="GrowMe" Width="10" Height="10" Stroke="Cyan" Canvas.Left="205" Canvas.Top="203"/>
Here is an example of a button that does exactly this. Note the RenderTransformOrigin property.
<Button RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" Command="{Binding ClickCommand}" Cursor="Hand">
<Button.RenderTransform>
<ScaleTransform ScaleX="1" ScaleY="1" />
</Button.RenderTransform>
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<Label>
<Label.Background>
<VisualBrush Visual="{Binding Path=Shape, Converter={StaticResource myTestConv}}" />
</Label.Background>
</Label>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="Button">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="RenderTransform.ScaleX"
To="1.3" Duration="0:0:0.1" AccelerationRatio="0.5"/>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="RenderTransform.ScaleY"
To="1.3" Duration="0:0:0.1" AccelerationRatio="0.5"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="RenderTransform.ScaleX"
To="1" Duration="0:0:0.5"/>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="RenderTransform.ScaleY"
To="1" Duration="0:0:0.5"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
<local:TooltipServiceEx.ToolTipEx>
<local:ToolTipEx
HideToolTipTimeout="{StaticResource TooltipTimeout}" />
</local:TooltipServiceEx.ToolTipEx>
<ToolTipService.ToolTip>
<ToolTip
Template="{StaticResource EventTooltipStyle}" />
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>
</Button>
You can do it easily animating ScaleTransform inside RenderTransform and set RenderTransformOrigin = "0.5, 0.5".
--EDIT--
Then your change your storyboard to following:
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation RepeatBehavior="Forever" AutoReverse="True" From="10" To="180" Duration="0:0:3" Storyboard.TargetName="GrowMe" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Width"/>
<DoubleAnimation RepeatBehavior="Forever" AutoReverse="True" From="10" To="180" Duration="0:0:3" Storyboard.TargetName="GrowMe" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Height"/>
<DoubleAnimation RepeatBehavior="Forever" AutoReverse="True" By="-180" Duration="0:0:3" Storyboard.TargetName="GrowMe" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Canvas.Left)"/>
<DoubleAnimation RepeatBehavior="Forever" AutoReverse="True" By="-180" Duration="0:0:3" Storyboard.TargetName="GrowMe" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Canvas.Top)"/>
</Storyboard>
You need to devide your growth into half and add it to Width/Height and subtract it from Left/Top.
