I have created a WFP UserControl with some complex XAML (converted from SVG). It’s basically a fancy button.
I would like to create an animation in the usercontrol’s XAML to “shift” it’s location by 4 pixels to the right and down, to simulate a click, and then have it pop back to its original location.
To me, this sounds like the first animation anyone would ever learn in WPF, but I’m having trouble finding a good example.
I have included the UserControl if anyone is interested.

Pavel is right on all counts. I have made some XAML that demonstrates his approach:
