AnimationDescription Class

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.UI.Core.AnimationMetrics

Exposes a collection of individual animation effects that are performed on a specific target to make up a complete Windows opacity, scaling, or translation animation.

Examples

This example shows the creation of an AnimationDescription object and its use. The effect and target parameters are assumed to have been previously assigned.

using Windows.UI.Core.AnimationMetrics;

AnimationDescription animationDescription = new AnimationDescription(effect, target);

TimeSpan sd = animationDescription.StaggerDelay;
float tsf = animationDescription.StaggerDelayFactor;
TimeSpan dl = animationDescription.DelayLimit;
int zo = animationDescription.ZOrder;

foreach (var animation in animationDescription.Animations)
{
    switch (animation.Type)
    {
        case PropertyAnimationType.Scale:
            {
                ScaleAnimation scale = animation as ScaleAnimation;
                // Retrieve scale animation metrics.
            }
            break;
        case PropertyAnimationType.Translation:
            {
                TranslationAnimation scale = animation as TranslationAnimation;
                // Retrieve translation animation metrics.
            }
            break;
        case PropertyAnimationType.Opacity:
            {
                OpacityAnimation opacity = animation as OpacityAnimation;
                // Retrieve opacity animation metrics.
            }
            break;
    }

    TimeSpan delay = animation.Delay;
    TimeSpan duration = animation.Duration;
    Point c1 = animation.Control1;
    Point c2 = animation.Control2;
}

Constructors

AnimationDescription(AnimationEffect, AnimationEffectTarget)

Creates an AnimationDescription object with a specific animation and target.

Properties

Animations	Gets the collection of animations that are associated with the AnimationDescription object.
DelayLimit	Gets the maximum cumulative delay time for the animation to be applied to the collection of objects in a target.
StaggerDelay	Gets the amount of time between the application of the animation effect to each object in a target that contains multiple objects. The StaggerDelay, together with the StaggerDelayFactor and DelayLimit, is one of the three elements used to control the relative timing of the animation effects.
StaggerDelayFactor	Gets a multiplier that is applied to each occurrence of the stagger delay, increasing or decreasing the previous delay instance by that amount.
ZOrder	Gets the z-order position of an AnimationDescription object relative to other AnimationDescription objects in the same animation effect.   AnimationDescription objects with a higher z-order cover transitions with a lower z-order.
