I am trying to call a storyboard declared in xaml from c#.
<UserControl.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Name="PlayStoryboard" x:Key="PlayAnimation">
...
I dont have access to "PlayStoryboard" from the codebehind file. Any ideas what i am doing wrong?
Since you declared your Storyboard as a Resource, you can access it by using FindResource("PlayAnimation"). See sample below:
XAML:
<Window x:Class="StackOverflow.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:StackOverflow"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Window.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Key="PlayAnimation" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Canvas.Left)">
<DoubleAnimation From="0" To="100" Duration="0:0:1"/>
</Storyboard>
</Window.Resources>
<Canvas>
<Button x:Name="btn">Test</Button>
</Canvas>
</Window>
Code-behind:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(MainWindow_Loaded);
}
void MainWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Storyboard sb = this.FindResource("PlayAnimation") as Storyboard;
Storyboard.SetTarget(sb, this.btn);
sb.Begin();
}
}
