How to: Animate a Property by Using an AnimationClock
This example shows how to use xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Clock objects to animate a property.
There are three ways to animate a dependency property:
-
Create an xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.AnimationTimeline and associate it with that property by using a xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Storyboard.
-
Use the object's xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Animatable.BeginAnimation%2A method to apply a single xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.AnimationTimeline to a target property.
-
Create an xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.AnimationClock from an xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.AnimationTimeline and apply it to a property.
xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Storyboard objects and the xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Animatable.BeginAnimation%2A method enable you to animate properties without directly creating and distributing clocks (for examples, see Animate a Property by Using a Storyboard and Animate a Property Without Using a Storyboard); clocks are created and distributed for you automatically.
Example
The following example shows how to create an xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.AnimationClock and apply it to two similar properties.

For an example showing how to interactively control a xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Clock after it starts, see Interactively Control a Clock.
