RE: Animating an image
So Shane, thanks, I can use triggers! I just had this mental warning that triggers weren't in SL4 ... Ah but I see you're using interactivity, which I can't recall using before. It looks like I'm missing out on a few tricks. I'll paste your code into the app later and see how it goes. I hope you're right and can avoid procedural code. I presume you created that XAML using Blend, which you may recall gives me bowel motions. I'll let you know how it goes. Grant, don't forget that you're on the other side of my screen, so what looks left to me in front of the screen is on the right for all of you out there ;-) Greg ___ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight
RE: Animating an image
Shane et al, after considering the structure of my app I had to create the animations and storyboard for the help icon in code. I have a base class for all of my controls containing the help icon, so it's convenient to put the clump of ugly code in there. However, the result is quite nice as the icon pulsates up and down as you mouse over. Then I remembered I forgot something else about Silverlight ... there are no document classes (FlowDocument, etc). I was going to format the help text as nice documents, but I'll have to find another way. I think my choices are limited to TextBlock and Run for formatting. What else is there?

Silverlight 5 can flow between text boxes. I forget the tag.

Silverlight 5 can flow between text boxes. I forget the tag. The RichTextBox in SL4 might be my saviour. I'm playing with it now -- Greg ___ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight

Greg, Is that your other left ?? Grant On Sun, Jun 24, 2012 at 12:09 PM, Greg Keogh g...@mira.net wrote: Folks, I’ve been writing WPF for several weeks and I just returned to doing some SL4 coding. I’ve already forgotten if I can do something declaratively, or I need code, or a bit of both. I’ve placed a small help Image at the bottom left of charts (see screen shot) and I’d like the image to expand on mouse over with a tooltip (then if they click it I will replace the chart with a full help display). ** ** I’ve just forgotten how to make the expanding effect in SL4. I don’t think I can use triggers in XAML, so I just need confirmation that code is required. ** ** Greg ** ** ___ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight image001.png___ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight
