I am trying to use the Visual State Manager in blend to animate a state transition. For simple state transitions where I do not have a multi-control, multi-key storyboard things seem to work. When I try to implement a complex storyboard as part of a state transition I am having trouble.
I have a listbox that I am trying to animate movement on a canvas. When I move it using the Blend designer it registers the animation, but the easing for the move is set to “Hold In” and I can not change it. This seems to be making a DiscreteObjectKeyFrame animation, while I believe I want a double animation, but I’m not sure how to make blend do what I want here. Animating opacity seems to work as expected.
How do I animate the listbox’s position on the canvas with a linear easing?
This was caused by trying to animate a property that only supports discrete frame animation. To get this to work, you have to use a custom path for the animation or pick another property (preferably of type double) that supports smooth animation.
