How do I start an animation by means of ButtonClick event? - c#

I have some challenges with a code as follows.
I need to start this simpliest animation code by means of e.g. ButtonClick event or a method in Code Behind.
Could anyone shed the light on this matter?
Update: The code itself is working perfectly. I need just start it by a button. Not while window loading.
Thanks in advance!

<Button x:Name="Button" Content="Start" Click="Button_Click"/>

WPF: Cannot bind bitmap source in animation

I have a simple animation that alternate two frames changing the image. It works perfectly until I try to bind the bitmapimage urisource.
<Image Stretch="Fill">
<Image.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Image.Loaded">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard RepeatBehavior="Forever">
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames

<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<BitmapImage UriSource="Assets/frame1.png" />
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames
BeginTime="{Binding ElementName=MyControl, Path=FrameBeginTime}" Duration="{Binding ElementName=MyControl, Path=FrameDuration}"

</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Image.Triggers>
I tried these two bindings but none of them work:
XAML:
<BitmapImage Source="{Binding ElementName=MyControl, Path=FrameUri1}" />
Code:
public Uri FrameUri1 { get { return _frameUri1; } set { _frameUri1 = value; NotifyPropertyChanged("FrameUri1"); } }
and
XAML:
<Image Source="{Binding ElementName=CosoControl, Path=BitmapSource}" />
Code:
public ImageSource BitmapSource
{
get
{
BitmapImage bitmap = new BitmapImage();
bitmap.BeginInit();
bitmap.UriSource = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Myassembly;component/Assets/frame1.png");
bitmap.EndInit();
return bitmap;
}
}
I read other threads with similar issue, but I'm quite new to WPF/C# and I could not figure out how to solve it. I read about IValueConverter but no idea how to arrange that.
Best way is to use diff. images with proper binding and hide them. Then animate opacity/visibility of the needed one.

MouseDoubleClick routed event doesn't fire up in EventTrigger

My question is fairly simple, because it works in other cases but not with double click mouse event. I want to make editable tab items, and its almost done. Maybe code will clear the situation:
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBox x:Name="HeaderEditMode" Text="{Binding Header, Mode=TwoWay}" Visibility="Collapsed" />
<TextBlock x:Name="HeaderDisplayMode" Text="{Binding Header, Mode=TwoWay}" />
<StackPanel.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseDoubleClick">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="HeaderEditMode"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0" Value="{x:Static Visibility.Visible}" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="HeaderDisplayMode"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0" Value="{x:Static Visibility.Collapsed}" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseLeave">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="HeaderEditMode"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0" Value="{x:Static Visibility.Collapsed}" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="HeaderDisplayMode"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">

</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>

If you change MouseDoubleClick to for example to MouseDown or MouseEnter it works perfectly. Any suggestions?
Try wrapping your TextBlock in a ContentControl, and attach the MouseDoubleClick trigger to that instead.

Why isn't this Silverlight transition working?

I'm trying to grasp some Silverlight animation basics by creating a simple (I'd imagine) transition.
Expected behaviour:
I have a simple UserControl representing an input form with (currently) two states - for testing purposes it's really simplified - a few buttons which don't do anything and a background to make the states more distinct.
The idea is to create a "rotating" effect (using ScaleX transformation) when switching states.
The problem:
I could create a separate animation for a transition from each state to each other state (in the current case of 2 states it'd be very simple) but I'm thinking - if there are more states and I want to be able to change from any of them to any other, then such an approach is hardly ideal.
So I wanted to make use of the generic transitions to and from states, and created the XAML as defined below. The issue is that when switching from one state to the other, for the first half of the transition (0:0:0 -> 0:0:0.2) the state I'm transitioning FROM is invisible (white background, no buttons).
Why is that? How should I create this transition?

Validation tooltip Does not exist

Im working on an application with validation. However, everything was doing great untill i installed this theme : Theme.
Everything is nice and all, but when i get an validation error, i get this exception:
'validationTooltip' name cannot be found in the name scope of 'System.Windows.Controls.ToolTip'.
I can simply remove where this is called. but im also wondering how this looks and might want to add this.
Anyone has an idea how to solve this?
I'll provide anything you guys desire around this question. code, styles etc.
UPDATE
Now that i commented all the code that gave an error. My own validation template isnt show though.
UPDATE2
I fixed that it shows back my own validation template. full code of his validation is below. if i forgot something. just tell me. thanks in advance

Access a storyboard in window.resources from a template

Given the following style, and a storyboard named animation that lives in <Window.Resources>, how can I pause (and resume) a storyboard triggered from code behind via ((Storyboard)FindResource("animate")).Begin(Tab1, true);
The following code errors saying the PauseStoryboard event can't find animate, which makes sense since it doesn't live in the template. The BeginStoryboard event allows you to bind to resources, but the pause and resume do not.
<Style x:Key="HiddenTabItem" TargetType="{x:Type TabItem}">
<Setter Property="HeaderTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type TabItem}">
<Border x:Name="grid">
<ContentPresenter>
<ContentPresenter.Content>
<TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding Content}"/>
</ContentPresenter.Content>
</ContentPresenter>
</Border>
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseEnter">
<PauseStoryboard BeginStoryboardName="animate" />
</EventTrigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
The animate storyboard:
<Window.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Key="animate">
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="0:0:0" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<Visibility>Visible</Visibility>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<DoubleAnimation BeginTime="0:0:0.0" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" From="0" To="1" Duration="0:0:0.2"/>
<DoubleAnimation BeginTime="0:0:2.5" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" From="1" To="0" Duration="0:0:0.5"/>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="0:0:5.5" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<Visibility>Hidden</Visibility>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</Window.Resources>
how can I pause (and resume) a storyboard triggered from code behind
First off save the reference to the storyboard which was kicked off in codebehind in a convenient location. Since you now have that as a reference, subscribe to the mouse enter event from the control which you are targeting. Either in Xaml or most likely in codebehind use that reference to the storyboard to pause it.
Thus removing the need to use a style trigger.
