Como: Trigger an Animation When a Property Value Changes
This example shows how to use a Trigger to start a Storyboard when a property value changes. You can use a Trigger inside a Style, ControlTemplate, or DataTemplate.
Exemplo
The following example uses a Trigger to animate the Opacity of a Button when its IsMouseOver property becomes true.

Animations applied by property Trigger objects behave in a more complex fashion than EventTrigger animations or animations started using Storyboard methods. They "handoff" with animations defined by other Trigger objects, but compose with EventTrigger and method-triggered animations.
