How to: Animate a Property Without Using a Storyboard
This example shows one way to apply an animation to a property without using a xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Storyboard.
Note
This functionality is not available in [!INCLUDETLA#tla_xaml]. For information about animating a property in [!INCLUDETLA2#tla_xaml], see Animate a Property by Using a Storyboard.
To apply a local animation to a property, use the xref:System.Windows.UIElement.BeginAnimation%2A method. This method takes two parameters: a xref:System.Windows.DependencyProperty that specifies the property to animate, and the animation to apply to that property.
Example
The following example shows how to animate the width and background color of a xref:System.Windows.Controls.Button.
[!code-cppanimateproperty#11] [!code-csharpanimateproperty#11] [!code-vbanimateproperty#11]
A variety of animation classes in the xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation namespace exist for animating different types of properties. For more information about animating properties, see Animation Overview. For more information about dependency properties (the type of properties that are shown in these examples) and their features, see Dependency Properties Overview.
There are other ways to animate without using xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Storyboard objects; for more information, see Property Animation Techniques Overview.
