WPF UI Animation Library

Question

Can anyone suggest a WPF library that we can use for animation? It should support animating transitions from one WPF form to another (for example, flip effects, etc.), and was also able to animate toolbar components (for example, labels, etc.).

This is not for a web application, so Silverlight libraries will not help. This is for a standalone Windows WPF forms application.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

There are some effects and transition libraries on Codeplex.

• http://wpffx.codeplex.com/

• http://transitionals.codeplex.com/

And this one that allows you to switch between different UserControls.

• http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/197132/Simple-WPF-Page-Transitions

Actually, be good at Codeplex and CodeProject, and you will find several other libraries that can help you.

Telerik controls got what you don’t want, but I suggest you try the native WPF animation, it’s not so difficult, and it is included right in the box (for free). Obviously, working with something like Blend will make your work pretty simple.

Answer 3

Try taking a look at Transitionz , which is a free open-source WPF animation library published and used by SciChart .

This allows you to animate opacity, translation conversion, or blurring when a property is added, changed at visibility on load. With support for MVVM, allowing you to change the model of the view.

The wiki and Github source are here: https://github.com/ABTSoftware/SciChart.Wpf.UI/wiki/Transitionz-Library

And NuGet is here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/SciChart.WPF.UI.Transitionz/
