<!-- Example template of a drag-enabled custom control. The
     DragItemThemeAnimation will be run when the control
     is in the Dragging state, and reverted when it isn't.

Remarks

Note that setting the Duration property has no effect on this object since the duration is preconfigured.

Constructors

DragItemThemeAnimation()

Initializes a new instance of the DragItemThemeAnimation class.

Properties

AutoReverse	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the timeline plays in reverse after it completes a forward iteration. (Inherited from Timeline)
BeginTime	Gets or sets the time at which this Timeline should begin. (Inherited from Timeline)
Dispatcher	Gets the CoreDispatcher that this object is associated with. The CoreDispatcher represents a facility that can access the DependencyObject on the UI thread even if the code is initiated by a non-UI thread. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
Duration	Gets or sets the length of time for which this timeline plays, not counting repetitions. (Inherited from Timeline)
FillBehavior	Gets or sets a value that specifies how the animation behaves after it reaches the end of its active period. (Inherited from Timeline)
RepeatBehavior	Gets or sets the repeating behavior of this timeline. (Inherited from Timeline)
SpeedRatio	Gets or sets the rate, relative to its parent, at which time progresses for this Timeline. (Inherited from Timeline)
TargetName	Gets or sets the reference name of the control element being targeted.
TargetNameProperty	Identifies the TargetName dependency property.

Methods

ClearValue(DependencyProperty)	Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetAnimationBaseValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns any base value established for a dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ReadLocalValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns the local value of a dependency property, if a local value is set. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
RegisterPropertyChangedCallback(DependencyProperty, DependencyPropertyChangedCallback)	Registers a notification function for listening to changes to a specific DependencyProperty on this DependencyObject instance. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
SetValue(DependencyProperty, Object)	Sets the local value of a dependency property on a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
UnregisterPropertyChangedCallback(DependencyProperty, Int64)	Cancels a change notification that was previously registered by calling RegisterPropertyChangedCallback. (Inherited from DependencyObject)

Events

Completed

Occurs when the Storyboard object has completed playing. (Inherited from Timeline)
