WPF Textbox Animation not working? - c#

I have a textbox and then an animation but only when the textbox is focused.
however this doesn't seem to work and i'm guessing because the animation is separate to the Control Template? How can i combine the two? Here is what i have so far.

You can solve this by doing two things:
Remove x:Key="TextBoxStyle1" from your style
Instead of using Storyboard.TargetName, use Storyboard.Target like this:
Storyboard.Target="{Binding ElementName=rectangle}"

C# implementation Button Animation shows weird behaviour [duplicate]

I am currently working on a C# WPF project and I am trying to make my custom style buttons.
What I want to have to happen, is when the mouse hovers over the button, it slightly increases in size as an animation, then when the mouse leaves the button, the animation decreases the size of the button to the original size.
Below is my ControlTemplate that I've created for my button. No errors are thrown but nothing happens either.
<Application.Resources>
<Style x:Key="RoundCorner" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>

Thanks for any help you can provide
You have couple of problems with your code:
1) You are trying to animate Rectangle.RenderTransform properties and there is no Rectangle in your ControlTemplate. RenderTransform is a dependency property on UIElement. So, you should remove Rectangle
2) Also, There is no RenderTransform applied to your Grid.
3) After fixing above two items, if you try you get continuous animation (Button expanding/shrinking in size), to fix this set Background property Grid to Transparent, so that Grid participates in hit testing and respond to Mouse overs.
Update your style XAML to the following and it will work:
<Style x:Key="RoundCorner" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid Name="ButtonGrid" Background="Transparent">
<Border
x:Name="border"
BorderBrush="White"
BorderThickness="2"
CornerRadius="8">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" TextElement.FontWeight="Bold">
</ContentPresenter>
</Border>
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<ScaleTransform />
</Grid.RenderTransform>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="Blue"/>
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Duration="0:0:0.05"
Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonGrid"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(RenderTransform).(ScaleTransform.ScaleX)"
To="0.95"/>
<DoubleAnimation

Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonGrid"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(RenderTransform).(ScaleTransform.ScaleY)"

</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Duration="0:0:0.05"
Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonGrid"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(RenderTransform).(ScaleTransform.ScaleX)"
To="1.08"/>
<DoubleAnimation
Duration="0:0:0.05"

</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Another thing, instead of using Trigger.EnterActions and Trigger.ExitActions, you could use VisualStateManager to achieve the same result. Using VisualStateManager is much more easier than Trigger.EnterActions and ExitActions.
Below is the code with VisualStateManager used to do the animations:
<Style x:Key="RoundCorner" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid Name="ButtonGrid" Background="Transparent">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualTransition GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.05" To="MouseOver"/>
<VisualTransition GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.05" To="Normal"/>
</VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualStateGroup.States>
<VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>
<VisualState x:Name="MouseOver">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonGrid"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(RenderTransform).(ScaleTransform.ScaleX)"
To="0.95"/>
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonGrid"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(RenderTransform).(ScaleTransform.ScaleY)"
To="0.95"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup.States>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Border
x:Name="border"
BorderBrush="White"
BorderThickness="2"
CornerRadius="8">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" TextElement.FontWeight="Bold">
</ContentPresenter>
</Border>
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<ScaleTransform/>
</Grid.RenderTransform>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="Blue"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">

Strange ColorAnimation and MultiTrigger behavior on ListView

I have a listview. I want to implement this behavior:
The initial color of non-clicked item is Gray
When mouse is over non-clicked item item, the item changes from Gray to Black. When mouse moves out, the item changes its color back to Gray
When item is clicked it changes to Red
When mouse is over the clicked item, the item remains Red anyway.
Below is how I try to implement it:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}" x:Key="PackageListViewItemStyle">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="1,1" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment"
Value="{Binding HorizontalContentAlignment,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor,
AncestorLevel=1,
AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}" />
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment"
Value="{Binding VerticalContentAlignment,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor,
AncestorLevel=1,
AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Gray" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource PackageListItemPrimaryForegroundColorBrush}" />
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle">
<Setter.Value>
<Style>
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Rectangle Margin="2"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True"
Stroke="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}"
StrokeDashArray="1 2"
StrokeThickness="1" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Border x:Name="Bd"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"
ContentStringFormat="{TemplateBinding ContentStringFormat}"
ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="Bd" Property="Background" Value="Red" />
<Setter TargetName="Bd" Property="BorderThickness" Value="2" />
</Trigger>
<MultiTrigger>
<!-- mouse hovers -->
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="False" />
<Condition Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True" />
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard Name="glowsb">
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Bd"
From="Gray" To="Black"
Duration="0:0:0.9"
AutoReverse="False"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
<MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard Name="glowsbback">
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Bd"
From="Black"
To="Gray"
Duration="0:0:0.9"
AutoReverse="False"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
</MultiTrigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled"
Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="Bd"
Property="TextElement.Foreground"
Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
As you can see the animation is used only for mouseOver/mouseLeave event.
Result: animation works as expected but when I click an item it becomes Gray instead of Red.
I figured that here Gray comes from ExitAction Animation "To" property.
If I change it like this:
<MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard Name="glowsbback">
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Bd"
From="Black" To="Green" Duration="0:0:0.9" AutoReverse="False"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
then the clicked item becomes Green.
Ok, let's get rid of the "To" property:
<MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard Name="glowsbback">
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Bd"
From="Black" Duration="0:0:0.9" AutoReverse="False"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
Cool, the clicked item becomes Red as expected, but it goes to Red animated, whereas I put it in Setter without animation:
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="Bd" Property="Background" Value="Red" />
<Setter TargetName="Bd" Property="BorderThickness" Value="2" />
</Trigger>
What did I miss?
I dont't know if this is the most elegant way to solve your problem.
In WPF Triggers are processed in the order they are declared.
See also In WPF, does the order of Triggers matter?
Therefore you can put your "IsSelected"-Trigger right after your MultiTrigger and stop that animation by using StopStoryboard
Result:
...
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<!-- mouse hovers -->
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="False" />
<Condition Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True" />
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard Name="glowsb">
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Bd"
From="Gray" To="Black"
Duration="0:0:0.9"
AutoReverse="False"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
<MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard Name="glowsbback">
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Bd"
From="Black"
Duration="0:0:0.9"
AutoReverse="False"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
</MultiTrigger>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="true">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<StopStoryboard BeginStoryboardName="glowsbback" />
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Setter TargetName="Bd" Property="Background" Value="Red" />
<Setter TargetName="Bd" Property="BorderThickness" Value="2" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled"
Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="Bd"
Property="TextElement.Foreground"
Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}" />
</Trigger>

IsMouserOver Interference With IsSelected in WPF

Hey guys I have an issue with triggers for IsMouserOver and IsSelected.
My goal is to create an animation that changes the BorderThickness of my ListViewItems in IsMouserOver. Using EnterActions and ExitActions yields the desired result, however, when I try to also take into account the IsSelected property in another trigger, every property but BorderThickness can be set.
When I remove the whole IsMouseOver trigger, BorderThickness will be set in IsSelected and displayed correctly.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}" x:Key="SubMenuStyles">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="40"/>
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Border BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Orange"/>
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ThicknessAnimation
Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderThickness" From="0,0,0,0" To="10,0,0,0"
Duration="0:0:0.5"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ThicknessAnimation
Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderThickness" From="10,0,0,0" To="0,0,0,0"
Duration="0:0:0.5"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="ListViewItem.IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#233E4F"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="50,0,0,0"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Orange"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Problem
The behavior you encountered before is shown in the picture below:
where the problem is that your orange border is being reset every time the mouse is over the selected item.
What I believe you want to achieve is to keep the fixed 50px border on a selected item, like shown below:
Solution
In order to achieve that, we need to find a way to execute the animation only for items that are not selected (i.e. where IsSelected="False").
This is where MultiTriggers come into play.
MultiTriggers are quite like "normal" Triggers with the important addition that they fire not when only one condition is fulfilled, but when all conditions are fulfilled.
e.g.
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True" />
<Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="False" />
<!-- More conditions, if you want -->
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<MultiTrigger.Setters>
<!-- Will only be set when ALL conditions are fulfilled. -->
</MultiTrigger.Setters>
<MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
<!-- Will also only be executed when ALL conditions are fulfilled -->
</MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
</MultiTrigger>
Code
So, in your case, adjust your style to look like this:
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="SubMenuStyles" TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="40" />
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="ListViewItem.IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#233E4F" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="50,0,0,0" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Orange" />
</Trigger>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True" />
<Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="False" />
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<MultiTrigger.Setters>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Orange" />
</MultiTrigger.Setters>
<MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ThicknessAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderThickness"
From="0,0,0,0"
To="10,0,0,0"
Duration="0:0:0.5" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
<MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ThicknessAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderThickness"
From="10,0,0,0"
To="0,0,0,0"
Duration="0:0:0.5" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</MultiTrigger.ExitActions>
</MultiTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>

How can I detect if textbox has text?

I have a textbox which has an animation but i want it to stop that animation if the textbox has text and start again if the textbox doesn't have text? But i'm not sure if this is possible as the animation is linked to another textbox?
TextBoxStyle1 is the animation.
TextBoxStyle2 is where the text input will be.

Not sure why the down votes, as solving this would have been a good exercise for anyone looking to hone their WPF style/template skills.
There are two important things to remember when creating styles/templates, especially when triggers get involved.
The order of the triggers matters.
If you find yourself scratching your head, you need to look at it from another angle and simplify.
At the point where you got, it would have been a good time to go ahead and make a custom control, in fact the example I provide below is going to be just that.
For what you are attempting to do, you have 3 possible outcomes to test for. If we take a few steps back and look, we can see exactly what we need to do, I'll break it down.
IsFocused
Color the border and label (This happens no matter what)
!IsFocused & Text.Length = 0
ENTER: Lower and resize the label.
EXIT: Raise and resize the label.
IsFocused & Text.Length = 0
ENTER: Display the hint.
EXIT: Hide the hint.
That's it, those are the only three triggers that we need, one Trigger and two MultiTriggers. You could get creative and make it only one trigger really, but maintainability and readability would be horrendous.
Let's start with the code for the custom control:
public class AnimatedTextBox : TextBox
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty LabelProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("Label", typeof (string), typeof (AnimatedTextBox),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(null));
public static readonly DependencyProperty HintProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("Hint", typeof (string), typeof (AnimatedTextBox),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(null));
static AnimatedTextBox()
{
DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof (AnimatedTextBox),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof (AnimatedTextBox)));
}
public string Label
{
get { return (string) GetValue(LabelProperty); }
set { SetValue(LabelProperty, value); }
}
public string Hint
{
get { return (string) GetValue(HintProperty); }
set { SetValue(HintProperty, value); }
}
}
I've just made Label and Hint strings to keep things simple, you could make them objects and expand the possibilities some.
And now the style:
<Color x:Key="Color.Control.Border.Focus">#FF00BCD4</Color>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="SolidColorBrush.Control.Border" Color="#FFABADB3" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="SolidColorBrush.Hint" Color="LightGray" />
<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:AnimatedTextBox}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.WindowBrushKey}}" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource SolidColorBrush.Control.Border}" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation" Value="None" />

The style is 95% what you had, I just combined it into one control. The only thing I really changed, was I set up the template to be defaulted in the 'IsFocused' and 'HasText' state. The idea is that our control always strives to be in that state, so it's easier to trip it up and set it to the other state. There are a few more ifs and buts the other way around, so coding for the least-common denominator plays to our benefit.
The usage would be as follows:
<Grid>
<StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Center">
<local:AnimatedTextBox Width="300"
Margin=" 0 0 0 15"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Hint="Hint 1"
Label="Label 1" />
<local:AnimatedTextBox Width="300"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Hint="Hint 2"
Label="Label 2" />
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
It may not be perfect, but hopefully that gets you on the right track.

Android Lock Screen C# .NET Replica

I am looking to create an application in Visual Studio C# that mimics the Android pattern lock screen, and was wondering if anyone had any tips for doing so.
This is not a commercial project and no money will be made, just a bit of fun.
I have been playing around in WPF Projects, and am at a loss for ideas right now. The only way I have thought of would be to track the mouse on a MouseDown event, and use the paint features in C# to "paint" where the mouse has been, but I don't feel that this is the best solution.
Any ideas for doing this?
See if this chould help you is rough code.
public partial class PatternLock : UserControl
{
bool isMouseDown = false;
private ObservableCollection<ToggleButton> selectedobject = new ObservableCollection<ToggleButton>();
public PatternLock()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
internal ObservableCollection<int> buttons = new ObservableCollection<int>();
private void layoutroot_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.OriginalSource is ToggleButton)
buttons.Add(Convert.ToInt32(((ToggleButton)e.OriginalSource).Content));
}
private void layoutroot_Unchecked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.OriginalSource is ToggleButton)
{
int i = Convert.ToInt32(((ToggleButton)e.OriginalSource).Content);
buttons.Remove(i);
}
}
internal void ResetPattern()
{
if (buttons != null)
{
buttons.Clear();
foreach (ToggleButton item in layoutroot.Children)
{
item.IsChecked = false;
}
}
}
}
