Creating Storyboard in code behind in WPF
When working in code, you don't need Storyboard really, just animations for basic things, like you show in your question. I made a little sample to show how easy it works.
This is the complete code behind of the mainwindow:
namespace WpfCSharpSandbox
{
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
WidenObject(150, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
}
private void WidenObject(int newWidth, TimeSpan duration)
{
DoubleAnimation animation = new DoubleAnimation(newWidth, duration);
rctMovingObject.BeginAnimation(Rectangle.WidthProperty, animation);
}
}
}
This is how the XAML looks like:
<Window x:Class="WpfCSharpSandbox.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Sandbox" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid Background="#333333">
<Rectangle x:Name="rctMovingObject" Fill="LimeGreen" Width="50" Height="50"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
Put this in a WPF app and see how it works, experiment with it and try other animations/properties.
Adding djerry's comment sample code would look like this:
var anim = new DoubleAnimation {
From = 1920,
To = 1,
};
wnd.BeginAnimation(Window.LeftProperty, anim);
and you would have to have this code in window loaded event handler. Hope this helps.
