I would like to make a rotating form WPF effect like the one in the norton antivirus 2010.
The effect is a rotating form that changes the contents when the other side is shown. But the axis is not in the center of the form but moves from side to center and back. Like a three step effect.
The rotating form can be seen at 8' 07" in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3hHPdgi9Nk&feature=related (I'm sad but this was the only video I found on YouTube)
Thanks.
Have a look at the Thriple stuff on CodePlex: http://thriple.codeplex.com/
It's almost exactly what you're after.
Hope this helps.
I did not examine the details, but I know that Microsoft's patterns & practices team also uses a similar animation in their "StockTrader Reference Implementation" for the "Composite Application Guidance". They sub-classed the TabControl and added some animation to it. I think the relevant code parts can be found here:
AnimatedTabControl.Desktop.cs
Generic.xaml
just verify this link. It has code as well as the Sample.
From the Sample take the TransitionPresenter link from the left panel and choose the 3D Rotate item from the listbox. Then select the images from the top list. You can see the same effect in the video. I saw some initial sanp of the video and may be this link can help you.

I'd like to use an ItemsControl which behaves somewhat carousel-like:
I want the items which are all text to circle so that the selected item is always centered and the biggest. I should not be 3D since I like the fact that the unselected items don't overlap and are still readable. Most carousel implementations I saw made the impression to be too heavyweight for this scenario or to look good only with pictures.
I have the feeling this should be doable with some storyboards alone but it seems I'm not far enough into the WPF to get it done properly.
I hope you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks for your help.
This blog post has a good description of how you can implement this
I really like a certain Silverlight feature that I've seen in a couple of sites. I would like to know what this "concept(s)" is/are so I can do more research and implemented it on my own. If you see the attached image, I like those expandable sections, reference (1) and (2) sections. They are circled in red and the features that I like are green and expandable.
For a live demo: http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#DataPager/FirstLook
Thanks for any advice.
Judging by the screenshot, it's just a collapsible pane. Such a control would have an API allowing two pieces of child content to be supplied, an orientation to be set (horizontal/vertical), and perhaps a collapse direction (left/right or up/down).
The control's template would place each piece of content alongside the other with a separator in between. Clicking the separator would collapse one piece of content in the chosen direction, thus giving the other piece of content more room.
I want to create a slider with images like a control in the bottom of the youtube(floating images with left and right navigation button). How i have to start. i am new to wpf.
for example: http://blog.wpfwonderland.com/page/4/
Geetha.
I think the best way to start anything is just to start right away. Even if you don't know how to start... Just write the first line of code. Let it be awful. Hardcode images. Use dirty tricks. Then throw it away and rewrite.
Along with writing the code read a lot. There are dozens of books on WPF out there. MSDN sections are awesome.
Don't forget to read the code too. This technique is extremely helpful. You can find good examples of carousel implementation.
Hope this helps.
Hii
Can anyone tell me how can I show percentage on the piechart....
The percentage is seen on mouseover event but I dont know how to show
the percentage on the piechart's slices....
If you are looking to put labels on the chart itself (instead of tooltip), take a look at this great blog post by WPF guru Bea Stollnitz.
It shows how to do this, in many different modes, and explains not only how, but why.
Take a look at amCharts Bundle for WPF. Pie chart supports labels on the slices, outside connected labels and includes an algorithm to prevent label overlapping.
I've just followed this tutorial (just to make sure) and I get the percentages of each slice as tooltip on mouse over by default.
If you post your code we might be able to spot if there's a problem with it.
You can use labelFunction in mx:PieSeries, and lableFunction look like that
private function pieSeries_labelFunc(item:Object, field:String, index:Number, percentValue:Number):String
{
return StringUtil.substitute("{0} ({1}%)",item.description,percentValue.toFixed(1));
}
Where description is the label that you want to see.
feel free to ask any question.
I am making a flash card application. It shows the question and then a textbox for user input, all wrapped in a border or rectangle. So what I want is an animation that "flips" the rectangle or border upside-down and then their is text on the "back". Also, I want my application to APPEAR transition from one card to another by "flying off" the screen then "another" card comes in to replace the other one in the opposite direction. But actually I'm want just a little animation of the border or rectangle moving off the screen then coming back in, but in the opposite direction. Some help would be appreciated, like what kind of animation can accomplish this and maybe a small code sample to demonstrate. I am not asking you write all this, I think that would be a little rude (unless you really want to).
Have you had a look at the Silverlight FX stuff? There might be some animations in there that are what you are looking for. There are also samples provided.
