Question

After running WPF animations on dependency properties in code behind, the dependency properties can no longer be set using SetValue. They can only be changed through animations.

I want to change a dependency property, some times through short animations, sometimes immediately in code.

So how can I remove the animation from a dependency property after the animation has reached its end?

Answer 1

After the animation ends (or when you want it to stop):

myButton.Width = myButton.Width; // set current value to the end value of the animation
myButton.ApplyAnimationClock(Button.WidthProperty, null); // remove animation

For a library that makes it real easy take a look at http://code.google.com/p/wpf-animation/
