Currently I have an Image
that I pulse when it is loaded. I want to rather activate the Storyboard when I change the Visibility of the Image. But I see that Image.Triggers
have to be EventTriggers
.
Which event do I need to hook into?
<Image.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Image.Loaded">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="MandateErrorImage"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
From="1.0" To="0.1" Duration="0:0:0.5"
AutoReverse="True" RepeatBehavior="0:0:2" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Image.Triggers>
In WPF there is an event UIElement.IsVisibleChanged
but is a CLR event, not a routed event, therefore in EventTrigger
can not be used.
In this case use IsVisible
property in DataTrigger
like this:
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="AnimationImageStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Image}">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=IsVisible}"
Value="True">
<DataTrigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
From="1.0" To="0.1"
Duration="0:0:0.5"
AutoReverse="True"
RepeatBehavior="0:0:2" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</DataTrigger.EnterActions>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<Image Name="TestImage"
Style="{StaticResource AnimationImageStyle}"
Source="Enter.jpg"
Width="400"
Height="400" />
</Grid>
If you want to animate on a DependencyProperty
or bound value you will need to create a Style
for your image and put the animation in the style.
The following Style
will perform your animation when the Visibility
of your image is set to Visible
:
<Style x:Key="FlashingImageStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Image}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Visibility" Value="Visible">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
From="1.0" To="0.1" Duration="0:0:0.5"
AutoReverse="True" RepeatBehavior="0:0:2" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
