Starting animation defined in XAML from code
-
Hi, I've posted this on the Microsoft forums as well but have not received any usable answer. I have a storyboard in XAML (in a DataTemplate) that I need to start from code. Now I've given up on that idea and rather went with an event to start it. Note: This is WPF. instead of: I now have: gestureMade is an event I created. Which is defined in code as:
public static readonly RoutedEvent gestureMadeEvent = EventManager.RegisterRoutedEvent("gestureMade", RoutingStrategy.Bubble, typeof(gestureMadeHandler), typeof(TouchActor)); public delegate void gestureMadeHandler( object sender, GestureEventArgs e ); public event gestureMadeHandler gestureMade { add { AddHandler(gestureMadeEvent, value); } remove { RemoveHandler(gestureMadeEvent, value); } }I know the event gets raised because I have a MessageBox that pops up in the handler. The problem is that it doesn't trigger the animation. Am I missing something? rather have something you don't need, than need something you don't have -

The way to start a storyboard in code is something like this: BeginStoryboard storyboardShow = Resources["showAnimation"] as BeginStoryboard; storyboardShow.Storyboard.Begin(this);

thanks for the reply. The problem is that the BeginStoryboard is in a Trigger, which is far nested into a DataTemplate so I cannot give it a key. I got to the BeginStoryboard through code by navigating through the template and registering everything that I need. So when I finally call story.Storyboard.Begin(this); I get no errors, the code is run (checked via tracing through it) but the animation doesn't happen. Any reason for this? Wrong containingObject?
