Public Property From As String

Property Value

String

The name of the VisualState to transition from.

Examples

The following example creates two VisualTransition objects. When the control transitions from the Pressed state to the MouseOver state, the VisualTransition that has both From and To set is used. When the control transitions from a state that is not Pressed to the MouseOver state, the other state is used.

<!--Take one half second to trasition to the MouseOver state.-->
<VisualTransition To="MouseOver" 
                  GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.5" />

<!--Take one hundredth of a second to transition from the
    Pressed state to the MouseOver state.-->
<VisualTransition From="Pressed" To="MouseOver" 
                  GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.01" />

Remarks

The From property is optional. A VisualTransition can be restricted to apply to only certain states or it can be applied any time the control transitions between states. You restrict when a VisualTransition is applied by setting the To and From properties. The following table describes the levels of restriction from most restrictive to least restrictive.

Type of restriction	Value of From	Value of To
From a specified state to another specified state	The name of a VisualState	The name of a VisualState
From any state to a specified state	Not set	The name of a VisualState
From a specified state to any state	The name of a VisualState	Not set
From any state to any other state	Not set	Not set

You can have multiple VisualTransition objects in a VisualStateGroup that refer to the same state, but they will be used in the order that the previous table specifies.

You can change this behavior by creating a new class that inherits from VisualStateManager and overriding the GoToStateCore method.
