VisualStateManager.GoToState for FrameworkElement - 【StackMirror】|c#|silverlight|windows-phone-7|silverlight-3.0|frameworkelement

I have troubles animating a StackPanel with the VisualStateManager.

VisualStateManager.GoToState() accepts a Control as parameter, but StackPanel is of type UIElement/FrameworkElement.

How can I call VisualStateManager.GoToState() on a StackPanel?

You can use VisualStateManager.GoToElementState

This post might help you: WPF using VisualStateManager to animate panels in & out.

Edit:

The methods above are only for WPF and not available in Silverlight. For Silverlight the ExtendedVisualStateManager from the Blend SDK might be helpful:

You would have to include the Microsoft.Expression.Interactions assembly though.

sorry, I don't realize. Do you use expression blend? there is the ExtendedVisualStateManager class that does seem to have the GoToElementState for silverlight - aKzenT 2012-04-04 22:58

Oh man, things are getting harder. I wouldn't find that solution by myself in less than one year ... : - Ignacio Soler Garcia 2013-06-01 19:02
