Question

I’m new to WPF and therefore this might be a stupid question, but I try to create a GUI with some nice animations and I dont know if this is possible with WPF and if it is possible, I dont know where to start.

What I am looking for is an animated search-textbox which expands when it is focused ( just like this example ).
Another thing I would like to add to my GUI is a modal panel which animates like this: example.
And is it possible to exchange two panels iPhone-like ( -> slidedeck.com ).

Thank you very much!
