MultiTriggers using the same property in XAML

I'm actually overriding the default ControlTemplate of the TextBox and in order to do what I want, I need to trigger two animations when the TextBox loose the focus and it's text is empty. In order to do that I'm using a MultiTrigger with two conditions like this:
(I'll use an animation on the FontSize for the example)
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsFocused" Value="False"/>
<Condition Property="Text" Value="{x:Static sys:String.Empty}"/>
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Title" Storyboard.TargetProperty="FontSize" From="9" To="120" Duration="0:0:2">
<DoubleAnimation.EasingFunction>
<QuinticEase EasingMode="EaseInOut"/>
</DoubleAnimation.EasingFunction>
</DoubleAnimation>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
</MultiTrigger>
The thing is that, the animation is triggered at the TextBox instantiation because the TextBox is not focused and the Text is empty.
So we can say that the animation and the MultiTrigger are working, but when I focus the TextBox once (the GotFocus resets the FontSize), on the LostFocus the animation is not triggered anymore.
BUT if I replace the whole MultiTrigger.EnterActions by this:
<MultiTrigger.Setters>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/>
</MultiTrigger.Setters>
Everything is working like a charm. I mean that the background is red at the begining, white on the GotFocus and red again on the LostFocus.
I might by misunderstanding the way we have to use the EnterActions but there's not that much documentation on MultiTriggers out there. Do you know why the animation isn't triggered anymore after the first time?
And by the way, is there a better way than Value="{x:Static sys:String.Empty}"to check if the Text property is empty?
EDIT :
In my ControlTemplate.Triggers I'm already using two EventTriggers, one is routed to the GotFocus event and the other one to the LostFocus event.
I saw on the MSDN that EnterActions does not apply to the EventTrigger, so I tried to get rid of both of my EventTriggers and now it works.
The thing is that I used a MultiTrigger because I needed to check if the Text was empty on the LostFocus but may be there is a way to put that condition in an EventTrigger?
EDIT #2:
AS #Satish Pai asked, here is the full ControlTemplate in which I replaced the EventTriggers by a MutliTrigger because, as I said, they seems to be incompatible.

<!--LostFocusWithEmptyText-->
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>

The thing is that both of the MultiTiggers are referring to the same IsFocused property and they don't wanna work together. If I delete the LostFocusAndEmptyText trigger it works, but I really need to differentiate the case where I loose the focus with an empty text and without.
Any suggestion on how to achieve that?

Chage your TiTle TextBlock init state. Marging="0,0,0,0" FontSize = "9"
<TextBlock x:Name="Title" Text="{TemplateBinding ToolTip}" FontSize="9" Margin="0,0,0,0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="2"
use Animation's property 'FillBehavior' set to "Stop". and
remove animation's property 'From' in EventTrigger.
good luck!

Datatrigger auto reverse color

I want to change the background color to red instantly if a property is true. Then revert slowly back to default background color.
My first attempt, problem: Default color appears instantly and not reverting slowly over time
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding HasValueChanged}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding HasValueChanged}" Value="False">
<DataTrigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.(SolidColorBrush.Color)" Duration="0:0:5" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</DataTrigger.EnterActions>
</DataTrigger>
My second attempt, problem: Color reverses like it should, but never goes red again if the property remains true
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding HasValueChanged}" Value="True">
<DataTrigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation To="Red" AutoReverse="True" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.(SolidColorBrush.Color)" Duration="0:0:5" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</DataTrigger.EnterActions>
</DataTrigger>

As long as you don't set a Timeline's FillBehavior to Stop, it keeps holding the final property value until it is replaced by another Timeline.
So this works:
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding HasValueChanged}" Value="True">
<DataTrigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"
To="Red" Duration="0"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</DataTrigger.EnterActions>
<DataTrigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"
From="Red" Duration="0:0:1"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</DataTrigger.ExitActions>
</DataTrigger>

getting an exception wpf

I'm getting this exception , i'm trying to change the texenter code heretbox width when the mouse on over the textbox
this is thh exception :

You have to set either Width on your TextBox element or, From property on DoubleAnimation. When you don't set either, it gets default value of the Width property which is Double.NaN, so it doesn't know from where to start.

WPF: Animation not work In time of change IsEnabled to {False or True}

The default "Grid" is displayed.
In step one and "Hide_MouseUp", animation works.
And then in no way responds to IsEnabled.
Please Please help me to solve this problem.
I am waiting for your warm response :)
style:
<Style x:Key="ShowHideVisibilityStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Grid}">
<Setter Property="Opacity" Value="1"></Setter>

Hi, I find the solution :)
for using two triggers on one property "Trigger.EnterActions" and "Trigger.ExitActions" should be used instead of using two separate Triggers
excuse me for my bad english :D
Code:
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="True">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<!-- Animation -->
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<!-- Animation -->
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>

It's a simple fix. Just move the "Enabling" Animation into an ExitTrigger:
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
From="1" To="0" Duration="0:0:0.5" />
<ThicknessAnimation
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Margin"
BeginTime="0:0:0.5"
To="-600,50,0,0"
Duration="0:0:0" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
From="0" To="1" Duration="0:0:0.5" />
<ThicknessAnimation
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Margin"
From="-600,50,0,0"
To="0,50,0,0"
Duration="0:0:0.1"
/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>

Multiple storyboards on one property

I have multiple storyboards that access the same property (not at the same time). After one storyboard changed the property, the other one seems to have no access to it and does not change anything.. What can I do against this?
Sample:
<ListBox>
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Border Name="Border" BorderBrush="DarkGray" BorderThickness="1" Margin="3">
<ContentPresenter />
<Border.Background>
<SolidColorBrush />
</Border.Background>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color" To="#3e8bff" Duration="0:0:0.1" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color" To="White" Duration="0:0:0.1" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True" />
<Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="False" />
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color" To="Orange" Duration="0:0:0.1" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
<MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color" To="White" Duration="0:0:0.1" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
</MultiTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<ListBox.Items>
<sys:String>hey</sys:String>
<sys:String>du</sys:String>
<sys:String>dux</sys:String>
<sys:String>duy</sys:String>
<sys:String>dua</sys:String>
</ListBox.Items>
</ListBox>
This is the smallest sample code I could make. After you've hovered an item, it won't turn blue when it's selected (try to click on one item and then use the arrow keys to select items without hovering them).

I have a solution!!! Triggers and actions order does matter... the answer is not to play more then one storyboard at the same time, just stop other.
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True"/>
<Condition Property="Selector.IsSelected" Value="False" />
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
<StopStoryboard BeginStoryboardName="SelectedBegin" />
<StopStoryboard BeginStoryboardName="UnselectBegin" />
<BeginStoryboard x:Name="EnterBegin" Storyboard="{StaticResource MouseEnterSb}"/>
</MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
<MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard x:Name="LeaveBegin" Storyboard="{StaticResource MouseLeaveSb}"/>
</MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
</MultiTrigger>
<Trigger Property="Selector.IsSelected" Value="True">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<StopStoryboard BeginStoryboardName="LeaveBegin" />
<StopStoryboard BeginStoryboardName="EnterBegin" />
<BeginStoryboard x:Name="SelectedBegin" Storyboard="{StaticResource SelectedSb}"/>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard x:Name="UnselectBegin" Storyboard="{StaticResource UnselectSb}"/>
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>

I've been able to reproduce your erroneous results using the following code (I'm stumped too):
<ListBox>
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<ControlTemplate.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Key="BorderAnimationToRed">
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color" To="Red" Duration="0:0:0.1" />
</Storyboard>
<Storyboard x:Key="BorderAnimationToBlue">
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color" To="Blue" Duration="0:0:0.1" />
</Storyboard>
<Storyboard x:Key="BorderAnimationToOrange">
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color" To="Orange" Duration="0:0:0.1" />
</Storyboard>
<Storyboard x:Key="BorderAnimationToWhite">
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color" To="White" Duration="0:0:0.1" />
</Storyboard>
</ControlTemplate.Resources>
<Border Name="Border" BorderBrush="DarkGray" BorderThickness="1" Margin="3">

</Border.Background>

</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource BorderAnimationToBlue}"/>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource BorderAnimationToWhite}"/>
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<ListBox.Items>
<sys:String>hey</sys:String>
<sys:String>du</sys:String>
<sys:String>dux</sys:String>
<sys:String>duy</sys:String>
<sys:String>dua</sys:String>
</ListBox.Items>
This code is a little easier to read, as the visuals, resources, and triggers are declared separately. Maybe you could try to use EventTriggers to accomplish your goal (using the "ListBoxItem.MouseEnter" and "ListBoxItem.MouseLeave" routed events). Good luck!
