Remarks

A ConnectedAnimation instance is returned by the ConnectedAnimationService.GetAnimation and ConnectedAnimationService.PrepareToAnimate methods.

When you call TryStart, the element you pass into the method should have its size defined in layout. This means that either the size of the element should be set in markup, or the content of the element should be fully populated, so that its size can be calculated by the XAML framework. If the layout is part of a ListView or GridView item with bound properties, you might have to manually update the content to prepare for the animation because bindings can be updated asynchronously.

There is a known limitation where ConnectedAnimation does not work well with theme transitions that have a translation component, including NavigationThemeTransition and EntranceThemeTransition. We recommend that you remove these transitions, or suppress the navigation using SuppressNavigationTransitionInfo, when you create an experience with ConnectedAnimation.

See the Connected animation sample for a complete example of ConnectedAnimation.
