WPF Animation of border width
- by Dave Perry
I've got a dockpanel on my ui as follows;
<DockPanel>
<Border DockPanel.Dock="Top">Header</Border>
<Border DockPanel.Dock="Bottom">My footer</Border>
<Border DockPanel.Dock="Left">Menu</Border>
<Border>Content</Border>
</DockPanel>
What I want to do is to have a storyboard animation to show / hide the Menu on the left-hand side. I've got my border to increase the width when it has loaded but I want a way to close / reopen it. I need a button somewhere but I want this to trigger the animation in the border control rather than itself. Ideally I was thinking of something like the Toolbox / Server Explorer in visual studio.
Does anyone have any pointers / examples for getting started?
Thanks
