Hey Folks
I've created a template and storyboard that applies to all buttons in my application. When you click the button, it drops to the right and down a bit, then snaps back up.
The problem is, when I handle the click in code, it executes before (or during?) the click event. The animation never happens in any case.
This is in my Application.xaml
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Style.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Key="OnClick1">
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[3].(TranslateTransform.X)" Storyboard.TargetName="{x:Null}">
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="2"/>
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.1" Value="0"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[3].(TranslateTransform.Y)" Storyboard.TargetName="{x:Null}">
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="2"/>
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.1" Value="0"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</Style.Resources>
<Style.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="ButtonBase.Click">
<BeginStoryboard x:Name="OnClick1_BeginStoryboard" Storyboard="{StaticResource OnClick1}"/>
</EventTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
<Setter Property="RenderTransformOrigin" Value="0.5,0.5"/>
<Setter Property="RenderTransform">
<Setter.Value>
<TransformGroup>
<ScaleTransform/>
<SkewTransform/>
<RotateTransform/>
<TranslateTransform/>
</TransformGroup>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="20"/>
<Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="20"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border Name="Border"
CornerRadius="2"
BorderThickness="0"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderBrush="#404040">
<ContentPresenter Margin="2"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
RecognizesAccessKey="True"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<ImageBrush Stretch="None"/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
And this is in my MainServices.xaml.vb
Private Sub Button_New_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Button_New.Click
kioskConfirmIdentity.ShowMe(kioskNew_Scan)
Me.Hide()
End Sub
If I put nothing in my codebehind it works just fine, but if the Click event is fired the animation doesn't happen.
