Cómo: Animar una propiedad utilizando un guión gráfico

En este ejemplo se muestra cómo usar Storyboard para animar propiedades. Para animar una propiedad mediante Storyboard, cree una animación para cada propiedad que quiera animar y cree también una clase Storyboard para contener las animaciones.

El tipo de propiedad determina el tipo de animación que se va a utilizar. Por ejemplo, para animar una propiedad que toma valores Double, use DoubleAnimation. Las propiedades adjuntas TargetName y TargetProperty especifican el objeto y la propiedad a las que la animación se aplica.

Para iniciar un guión gráfico en lenguaje XAML, use una acción BeginStoryboard y una clase EventTrigger. EventTrigger desencadena la acción BeginStoryboard cuando el evento que se especifica por la propiedad RoutedEvent ocurre. La acción BeginStoryboard inicia Storyboard.

El ejemplo siguiente usa objetos Storyboard para animar dos controles de Button. Para que el primer botón cambie su tamaño, Width se anima. Para que el segundo botón cambie de color, la propiedad Color de SolidColorBrush se usa para establecer la propiedad Background del botón que se anima.

Si usa código, debe crear NameScope para FrameworkElement y registrar los nombres de los objetos para animar esa clase FrameworkElement. Para iniciar las animaciones en código, use una acción BeginStoryboard con EventTrigger. Opcionalmente, puede usar un controlador de eventos y el método Begin de Storyboard. En el siguiente ejemplo, se muestra cómo utilizar el método Begin.

Si usa código, no estará limitado a usar objetos Storyboard para animar las propiedades. Para más información y ejemplos, vea Animar una propiedad sin utilizar un guión gráfico y Animar una propiedad usando un objeto AnimationClock.
