Namespace:: System.Windows.Media.Animation

Assembly:: PresentationCore.dll

Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty.

Overloads

BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline)	Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used.
BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline, HandoffBehavior)	Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the specified HandoffBehavior is used.

BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline)

Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used.

public:
 virtual void BeginAnimation(System::Windows::DependencyProperty ^ dp, System::Windows::Media::Animation::AnimationTimeline ^ animation);

public void BeginAnimation (System.Windows.DependencyProperty dp, System.Windows.Media.Animation.AnimationTimeline animation);

abstract member BeginAnimation : System.Windows.DependencyProperty * System.Windows.Media.Animation.AnimationTimeline -> unit
override this.BeginAnimation : System.Windows.DependencyProperty * System.Windows.Media.Animation.AnimationTimeline -> unit

Public Sub BeginAnimation (dp As DependencyProperty, animation As AnimationTimeline)

Parameters

dp: DependencyProperty

The property to animate.

animation: AnimationTimeline

The animation used to animate the specified property.

If the animation's BeginTime is null, any current animations will be removed and the current value of the property will be held.

If animation is null, all animations will be removed from the property and the property value will revert back to its base value.

Implements

BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline)

Remarks

If the animation has a BeginTime that is greater than zero, the animation begins after that amount of time has elapsed from the time the next frame is rendered.

Applies to

BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline, HandoffBehavior)

Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the specified HandoffBehavior is used.

public:
 virtual void BeginAnimation(System::Windows::DependencyProperty ^ dp, System::Windows::Media::Animation::AnimationTimeline ^ animation, System::Windows::Media::Animation::HandoffBehavior handoffBehavior);

public void BeginAnimation (System.Windows.DependencyProperty dp, System.Windows.Media.Animation.AnimationTimeline animation, System.Windows.Media.Animation.HandoffBehavior handoffBehavior);

abstract member BeginAnimation : System.Windows.DependencyProperty * System.Windows.Media.Animation.AnimationTimeline * System.Windows.Media.Animation.HandoffBehavior -> unit
override this.BeginAnimation : System.Windows.DependencyProperty * System.Windows.Media.Animation.AnimationTimeline * System.Windows.Media.Animation.HandoffBehavior -> unit

Public Sub BeginAnimation (dp As DependencyProperty, animation As AnimationTimeline, handoffBehavior As HandoffBehavior)

Parameters

dp: DependencyProperty

The property to animate.

animation: AnimationTimeline

The animation used to animate the specified property.

If handoffBehavior is SnapshotAndReplace and the animation's BeginTime is null, any current animations will be removed and the current value of the property will be held.

If handoffBehavior is SnapshotAndReplace and animation is a null reference, all animations will be removed from the property and the property value will revert back to its base value.

If handoffBehavior is Compose, this method will have no effect if the animation or its BeginTime is null.

handoffBehavior: HandoffBehavior

A value that specifies how the new animation should interact with any current animations already affecting the property value.

Implements

BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline, HandoffBehavior)

Examples

The following example shows how to apply animations using different HandoffBehavior settings.

/*

This sample animates the position of an ellipse when 
the user clicks within the main border. If the user
left-clicks, the SnapshotAndReplace HandoffBehavior
is used when applying the animations. If the user
right-clicks, the Compose HandoffBehavior is used
instead.

Remarks

If the animation has a BeginTime that is greater than zero, the animation begins after that amount of time has elapsed from the time the next frame is rendered.

Using the Compose HandoffBehavior

When you apply a Storyboard, AnimationTimeline, or AnimationClock to a property using the Compose HandoffBehavior, any Clock objects previously associated with that property continue to consume system resources; the timing system will not remove these clocks automatically.

To avoid performance issues when you apply a large number of clocks using Compose, you should remove composing clocks from the animated property after they complete. There are several ways to remove a clock.

To remove all clocks from a property, use the ApplyAnimationClock(DependencyProperty, AnimationClock) or BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline) method of the animated object. Specify the property being animated as the first parameter, and null as the second. This will remove all animation clocks from the property.
To remove a specific AnimationClock from a list of clocks, use the Controller property of the AnimationClock to retrieve a ClockController, then call the Remove method of the ClockController. This is typically done in the Completed event handler for a clock. Note that only root clocks can be controlled by a ClockController; the Controller property of a child clock will return null. Note also that the Completed event will not be called if the effective duration of the clock is forever. In that case, the user will need to determine when to call Remove.

This is primarily an issue for animations on objects that have a long lifetime. When an object is garbage collected, its clocks will also be disconnected and garbage collected.
