Examples

The following example uses the ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames class to animate the Fill property of a Rectangle. This animation uses two key frames in the following manner:

  1. Using a DiscreteObjectKeyFrame, the Fill property of the Rectangle suddenly changes to a LinearGradientBrush after the first two seconds of the animation.
  2. After the third second of the animation, the Fill property is suddenly changed to a different LinearGradientBrush, which remains until the end of the animation (four seconds total).

         change. -->

Constructors

ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames()

Initializes a new instance of the ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames class.

Properties

AutoReverse

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the timeline plays in reverse after it completes a forward iteration.

(Inherited from Timeline)
BeginTime

Gets or sets the time at which this Timeline should begin.

(Inherited from Timeline)
Dispatcher

Always returns null in a Windows App SDK app. Use DispatcherQueue instead.

(Inherited from DependencyObject)
DispatcherQueue

Gets the DispatcherQueue that this object is associated with. The DispatcherQueue represents a facility that can access the DependencyObject on the UI thread even if the code is initiated by a non-UI thread.

(Inherited from DependencyObject)
Duration

Gets or sets the length of time for which this timeline plays, not counting repetitions.

(Inherited from Timeline)
EnableDependentAnimation

Gets or sets a value that declares whether animated properties that are considered dependent animations should be permitted to use this animation declaration.

EnableDependentAnimationProperty

Identifies the EnableDependentAnimation dependency property.

FillBehavior

Gets or sets a value that specifies how the animation behaves after it reaches the end of its active period.

(Inherited from Timeline)
KeyFrames

Gets the collection of ObjectKeyFrame objects that define the animation.

RepeatBehavior

Gets or sets the repeating behavior of this timeline.

(Inherited from Timeline)
SpeedRatio

Gets or sets the rate, relative to its parent, at which time progresses for this Timeline.

(Inherited from Timeline)

Methods

ClearValue(DependencyProperty)

Clears the local value of a dependency property.

(Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetAnimationBaseValue(DependencyProperty)

Returns any base value established for a dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active.

(Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetValue(DependencyProperty)

Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject.

(Inherited from DependencyObject)
ReadLocalValue(DependencyProperty)

Returns the local value of a dependency property, if a local value is set.

(Inherited from DependencyObject)
RegisterPropertyChangedCallback(DependencyProperty, DependencyPropertyChangedCallback)

Registers a notification function for listening to changes to a specific DependencyProperty on this DependencyObject instance.

(Inherited from DependencyObject)
SetValue(DependencyProperty, Object)

Sets the local value of a dependency property on a DependencyObject.

(Inherited from DependencyObject)
UnregisterPropertyChangedCallback(DependencyProperty, Int64)

Cancels a change notification that was previously registered by calling RegisterPropertyChangedCallback.

(Inherited from DependencyObject)

Events

Completed

Occurs when the Storyboard object has completed playing.
