Storyboard.SetTarget Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Causes the specified Timeline to target the specified object.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Media.Animation
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Sub SetTarget ( _
    timeline As Timeline, _
    target As DependencyObject _
)

public static void SetTarget(
    Timeline timeline,
    DependencyObject target
)

Parameters

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

One or more of the parameters is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

As with SetTargetName, the user is still required to hook up the desired property using SetTargetProperty for the animation. This is the same model as XAML: specify a target as well as a target property. The difference with the code model is that SetTarget sets the target by using an object reference, whereas XAML (and SetTargetName) sets the target by referencing an x:Name on that object.

This method supports the Storyboard.Target attached property.

Examples

The following example shows how to create a Storyboard using code.

Run this sample

Private Sub Create_And_Run_Animation(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    ' Create a red rectangle that will be the target
    ' of the animation.
    Dim myRectangle As Rectangle = New Rectangle
    myRectangle.Width = 200
    myRectangle.Height = 200
    Dim myColor As Color = Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 0, 0)
    Dim myBrush As SolidColorBrush = New SolidColorBrush
    myBrush.Color = myColor
    myRectangle.Fill = myBrush
    ' Add the rectangle to the tree.
    LayoutRoot.Children.Add(myRectangle)
    ' Create a duration of 2 seconds.
    Dim duration As Duration = New Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2))
    ' Create two DoubleAnimations and set their properties.
    Dim myDoubleAnimation1 As DoubleAnimation = New DoubleAnimation
    Dim myDoubleAnimation2 As DoubleAnimation = New DoubleAnimation
    myDoubleAnimation1.Duration = duration
    myDoubleAnimation2.Duration = duration
    Dim sb As Storyboard = New Storyboard
    sb.Duration = duration
    sb.Children.Add(myDoubleAnimation1)
    sb.Children.Add(myDoubleAnimation2)
    Storyboard.SetTarget(myDoubleAnimation1, myRectangle)
    Storyboard.SetTarget(myDoubleAnimation2, myRectangle)
    ' Set the attached properties of Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top
    ' to be the target properties of the two respective DoubleAnimations
    Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(myDoubleAnimation1, New PropertyPath("(Canvas.Left)"))
    Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(myDoubleAnimation2, New PropertyPath("(Canvas.Top)"))
    myDoubleAnimation1.To = 200
    myDoubleAnimation2.To = 200
    ' Make the Storyboard a resource.
    LayoutRoot.Resources.Add("unique_id", sb)
    ' Begin the animation.
    sb.Begin()
End Sub

private void Create_And_Run_Animation(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Create a red rectangle that will be the target
    // of the animation.
    Rectangle myRectangle = new Rectangle();
    myRectangle.Width = 200;
    myRectangle.Height = 200;
    Color myColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 0, 0);
    SolidColorBrush myBrush = new SolidColorBrush();
    myBrush.Color = myColor;
    myRectangle.Fill = myBrush;

    // Add the rectangle to the tree.
    LayoutRoot.Children.Add(myRectangle);

    // Create a duration of 2 seconds.
    Duration duration = new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2));

    // Create two DoubleAnimations and set their properties.
    DoubleAnimation myDoubleAnimation1 = new DoubleAnimation();
    DoubleAnimation myDoubleAnimation2 = new DoubleAnimation();

    myDoubleAnimation1.Duration = duration;
    myDoubleAnimation2.Duration = duration;

    Storyboard sb = new Storyboard();
    sb.Duration = duration;

    sb.Children.Add(myDoubleAnimation1);
    sb.Children.Add(myDoubleAnimation2);

    Storyboard.SetTarget(myDoubleAnimation1, myRectangle);
    Storyboard.SetTarget(myDoubleAnimation2, myRectangle);

    // Set the attached properties of Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top
    // to be the target properties of the two respective DoubleAnimations.
    Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(myDoubleAnimation1, new PropertyPath("(Canvas.Left)"));
    Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(myDoubleAnimation2, new PropertyPath("(Canvas.Top)"));

    myDoubleAnimation1.To = 200;
    myDoubleAnimation2.To = 200;

    // Make the Storyboard a resource.
    LayoutRoot.Resources.Add("unique_id", sb);

    // Begin the animation.
    sb.Begin();
}
