Property Value

Type: System.Windows.VisualStateManager
The VisualStateManager that transitions between the states of a control. The default is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Use the CustomVisualStateManager property if you want to implement your own logic for transitioning between states. If CustomVisualStateManager is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the VisualStateManager uses its own logic to transition between states.
