Direction with SlideAndZoomTransition

[Michele]

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to invert the transition of movement in "SlideAndZoomTransition".
I'm implementing a behavior of type: "Go Forward" and "Go Back" between some userControls (in a "Wizard Like" situation).

Is It possible to invert the movement direction of the transition when I choose "Go Back"?

thanks a lot
Michele

Hi Konstantina,
Do you mean that the only way is to create a Custom Transition ?

thanks again

Hello Michele,

You can also set the SlideDirection property of the SlideAndZoomTransition. If you need to make more changes to the transition, then you will have to use custom transition.

Please let us know if you have any other inquiries.

yes, the SlideDirection property Is what I was looking for.

but I'va found 2 kind of problems:

1. It would be fine it was a Dependency property .
2. If I set it in XAML it's all ok; But if I try to change it at RunTime I've no effects on the behavior : I mean that the direction doesn't change - Is it a little bug or I'm making some mistake?
 
Thanks again

Hello Michele,

To make it work I can suggest you do the following:
- define 2 slide and zoom transitions in the code-behind, one for left-to-right and one for right-to-left direction
- set each one for the different directions, but do this before the content is changed, because when the transition has already begun there will be no effect.

Please let us know if you need further help.
