Tip

For more info, design guidance, and code examples, see Animated icon.

Open the WinUI 3 Gallery app and see the AnimatedIcon in action.

The WinUI 3 Gallery app includes interactive examples of most WinUI 3 controls, features, and functionality. Get the app from the Microsoft Store or get the source code on GitHub

Add an AnimatedIcon to a button

This example demonstrates a back button with a back arrow icon that animates when pointer events occur.

The AnimatedBackVisualSource is a back-arrow animation provided by WinUI.
The FallbackIconSource is used when animations can't be played.
The UIElement.AddHandler method with handledEventsToo set to true is used for events that the button marks as PointerRoutedEventArgs.Handled.

<!-- 
xmlns:animatedvisuals="using:Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.AnimatedVisuals"
-->

<AppBarButton x:Name="BackButton" Label="Back"
              AnimatedIcon.State="Normal"
              PointerEntered="AppBarButton_PointerEntered"
              PointerExited="AppBarButton_PointerExited">
    <AnimatedIcon>
        <animatedvisuals:AnimatedBackVisualSource/>
        <AnimatedIcon.FallbackIconSource>
            <SymbolIconSource Symbol="Back"/>
        </AnimatedIcon.FallbackIconSource>
    </AnimatedIcon>
</AppBarButton>

// Add handlers.
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
    SettingsButton.AddHandler(UIElement.PointerPressedEvent, 
        new PointerEventHandler(AppBarButton_PointerPressed), true);
    SettingsButton.AddHandler(UIElement.PointerReleasedEvent, 
        new PointerEventHandler(AppBarButton_PointerReleased), true);
    base.OnNavigatedTo(e);
}

// Remove handlers.
protected override void OnNavigatedFrom(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
    SettingsButton.RemoveHandler(UIElement.PointerPressedEvent, 
        (PointerEventHandler)AppBarButton_PointerPressed);
    SettingsButton.RemoveHandler(UIElement.PointerReleasedEvent, 
        (PointerEventHandler)AppBarButton_PointerReleased);
    base.OnNavigatedFrom(e);
}

private void AppBarButton_PointerEntered(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    AnimatedIcon.SetState((UIElement)sender, "PointerOver");
}

private void AppBarButton_PointerPressed(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    AnimatedIcon.SetState((UIElement)sender, "Pressed");
}

private void AppBarButton_PointerReleased(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    AnimatedIcon.SetState((UIElement)sender, "Normal");
}

private void AppBarButton_PointerExited(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    AnimatedIcon.SetState((UIElement)sender, "Normal");
}

Remarks

Set the AnimatedIcon.Source property to specify the animated visual for the icon. WinUI provides animated visuals for some common icons in the Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.AnimatedVisuals namespace.

In some cases, system settings or limitations can prevent the icon from being animated.

If the user turns off animations in their system settings, AnimatedIcon displays the final frame of the state transition the control was in.
Specify a FallbackIconSource to be used when animations aren't supported, such as on older versions of Windows that don't support Lottie animations.

Custom animations

You can create custom animations to use as an animated icon in your app. Animations can be created with Adobe AfterEffects, then you can use that output with the Lottie-Windows library to generate a custom class that implements IAnimatedVisualSource2. You can use this class as the Source for an animated icon. For more information, see Use Lottie to create animated content for an AnimatedIcon.

Control the animated icon state

You change the playback position and state of the animation by setting the AnimatedIcon.State attached property. The state property takes a string value that describes the visual state, such as "Normal", "PointerOver", or "Pressed". You can also specify a specific state transition, such as "PressedToNormal".

An animated icon Source contains Markers that map a position in the animation timeline to a visual state. The string values that a Source supports to set the State attached property are defined in the Markers collection. For more info, see Define AnimatedIcon markers.

Animated visual sources that are used in control templates often have a more complex set of Markers that map to control states, while animated visuals for more general use often have a more simple set of Markers that map to pointer events.

Where to set state

You can set the property on the AnimatedIcon or on an ancestor in the XAML tree. In either case, you need to use the attached property syntax, like this:

<AnimatedIcon AnimatedIcon.State="Normal">...</AnimatedIcon>

Important

If you add an AnimatedIcon to the XAML tree and set the State property on an ancestor element, the State property must be set to an initial value before the animated icon is first loaded in order for the icon to animate. You typically set the initial state in XAML as shown here.

<StackPanel AnimatedIcon.State="Normal" ...>
   <AnimatedIcon>
       <animatedvisuals:AnimatedBackVisualSource/>
   </AnimatedIcon>
</StackPanel>

Use visual states

You can add an AnimatedIcon to the ControlTemplate of a XAML control and use a VisualStateManager to set its state. Some controls, such as NavigationViewItem, automatically set the state for an AnimatedIcon that is set as its Icon.

To see an example that sets AnimatedIcon.State in a control template visual state, see the default template for CheckBox. The CheckBox control uses the AnimatedAcceptVisualSource for its check mark. The visual state setters look like this:

<VisualState x:Name="CheckedPointerOver">
    ...
    <VisualState.Setters>
        <Setter Target="CheckGlyph.(AnimatedIcon.State)" Value="PointerOverOn"/>
    </VisualState.Setters>
</VisualState>

Handle pointer events

To make the AnimatedIcon respond to user interaction, you need to set the AnimatedIcon.State attached property in response to some pointer events. This table shows the pointer events you will typically handle, and common states that map to these events. (However, not every animated icon source will map to these states exactly.)

Event	State
UIElement.PointerEntered	"`PointerOver`"
UIElement.PointerPressed	"`Pressed`"
UIElement.PointerReleased	"`Normal`"
UIElement.PointerExited	"`Normal`"

Tip

If you place the AnimatedIcon inside a Button or other control that has a Click event, the PointerPressed and PointerReleased events are marked as PointerRoutedEventArgs.Handled. To handle these events on a button, use the UIElement.AddHandler method to connect your event handler and specify handledEventsToo as true. Use UIElement.RemoveHandler to disconnect the event handler.

See the Examples section for sample code that demonstrates these event handlers.

XAML attached properties

AnimatedIcon is the host service class for a XAML attached property.

In order to support XAML processor access to the attached properties, and also to expose equivalent get and set operations to code, each XAML attached property has a pair of Get and Set accessor methods. Another way to get or set the value in code is to use the dependency property system, calling either GetValue or SetValue and passing the identifier field as the dependency property identifier.

Property that the developer sets on AnimatedIcon.

Methods

AddHandler(RoutedEvent, Object, Boolean)	Adds a routed event handler for a specified routed event, adding the handler to the handler collection on the current element. Specify `handledEventsToo` as `true` to have the provided handler be invoked even if the event is handled elsewhere. (Inherited from UIElement)
Arrange(Rect)	Positions child objects and determines a size for a UIElement. Parent objects that implement custom layout for their child elements should call this method from their layout override implementations to form a recursive layout update. (Inherited from UIElement)

Loading	Occurs when a FrameworkElement begins to load. (Inherited from FrameworkElement)
LosingFocus	Occurs before a UIElement loses focus. This event is raised synchronously to ensure focus isn't moved while the event is bubbling. (Inherited from UIElement)
LostFocus	Occurs when a UIElement loses focus. This event is raised asynchronously, so focus can move again before bubbling is complete. (Inherited from UIElement)
ManipulationCompleted	Occurs when a manipulation on the UIElement is complete. (Inherited from UIElement)
ManipulationDelta	Occurs when the input device changes position during a manipulation. (Inherited from UIElement)
ManipulationInertiaStarting	Occurs when the input device loses contact with the UIElement object during a manipulation and inertia begins. (Inherited from UIElement)
ManipulationStarted	Occurs when an input device begins a manipulation on the UIElement. (Inherited from UIElement)
ManipulationStarting	Occurs when the manipulation processor is first created. (Inherited from UIElement)
NoFocusCandidateFound	Occurs when a user attempts to move focus (via tab or directional arrows), but focus doesn't move because no focus candidate is found in the direction of movement. (Inherited from UIElement)
PointerCanceled	Occurs when a pointer that made contact abnormally loses contact. (Inherited from UIElement)
PointerCaptureLost	Occurs when pointer capture previously held by this element moves to another element or elsewhere. (Inherited from UIElement)
PointerEntered	Occurs when a pointer enters the hit test area of this element. (Inherited from UIElement)
PointerExited	Occurs when a pointer leaves the hit test area of this element. (Inherited from UIElement)
PointerMoved	Occurs when a pointer moves while the pointer remains within the hit test area of this element. (Inherited from UIElement)
PointerPressed	Occurs when the pointer device initiates a Press action within this element. (Inherited from UIElement)
PointerReleased	Occurs when the pointer device that previously initiated a Press action is released, while within this element. Note that the end of a Press action is not guaranteed to fire a `PointerReleased` event; other events may fire instead. For more info, see Remarks. (Inherited from UIElement)
PointerWheelChanged	Occurs when the delta value of a pointer wheel changes. (Inherited from UIElement)
PreviewKeyDown	Occurs when a keyboard key is pressed while the UIElement has focus. (Inherited from UIElement)
PreviewKeyUp	Occurs when a keyboard key is released while the UIElement has focus. (Inherited from UIElement)
ProcessKeyboardAccelerators	Occurs when a keyboard shortcut (or accelerator) is pressed. (Inherited from UIElement)
RightTapped	Occurs when a right-tap input stimulus happens while the pointer is over the element. (Inherited from UIElement)
SizeChanged	Occurs when either the ActualHeight or the ActualWidth property changes value on a FrameworkElement. (Inherited from FrameworkElement)
Tapped	Occurs when an otherwise unhandled Tap interaction occurs over the hit test area of this element. (Inherited from UIElement)
Unloaded	Occurs when this object is no longer connected to the main object tree. (Inherited from FrameworkElement)
