Question

Hi i am trying to find some way to when a button is clicked changes the visibility of other control, like a DataGrid with a Trigger in XAML.

The button only changes the visibility of the DataGrid to Visible, it does other things in Code Behind, but this is something that i think that can be done in a Style with a Trigger.

I tried to find a solution and it seems to be possible to do but i can’t understand how.

Thanks in advance.

<Button Content="Button!">
    <Button.Triggers>
        <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Button.Click">
            <BeginStoryboard>
                <Storyboard>
                    <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.Target="{x:Reference dataGrid}"
                                                   Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
                        <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0"
                                                Value="{x:Static Visibility.Visible}"/>
                    </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
                </Storyboard>
            </BeginStoryboard>
        </EventTrigger>
    </Button.Triggers>
</Button>

{x:Reference dataGrid} references a DataGrid with the name dataGrid, alternatively you could just use Storyboard.TargetName. You would normally use the Storyboard.Target property if you do binding or references to resources.
