I want to fade a window in/out in my application.
Fading in occurs on Window.Loaded
and I wanted to fade out on close (Window.Closed
or Window.Closing
).
Fading in works perfectly, but Window.Closing
is not allowed value for RoutedEvent
property.
What RoutedEvent
should I be using for Close?
<Window.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Window.Loaded">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" From="0" To="1" Duration="0:0:2" FillBehavior="HoldEnd" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Window.Closing">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" From="1" To="0" Duration="0:0:2" FillBehavior="HoldEnd" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Window.Triggers>
I get a error on , Value 'Window.Closing' cannot be assigned to property 'RoutedEvent'. Invalid event name.
Closing is not a routed event, so you can't use it in an EventTrigger. Perhaps you could start the storyboard in the handler of the ClosingEvent in the code-behind and cancel the event... something like that :
private bool closeStoryBoardCompleted = false;
private void Window_Closing(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
if (!closeStoryBoardCompleted)
{
closeStoryBoard.Begin();
e.Cancel = true;
}
}
private void closeStoryBoard_Completed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
closeStoryBoardCompleted = true;
this.Close();
}
