Animating elements in information layer

[Warnestam]

As a newbie to WPF I've been struggled with triggers and animations for a while. 

This is my element in the information layer:

<telerik:InformationLayer.ItemTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<Grid x:Name="TopLevelGrid" Width="Auto" Height="Auto"

telerik:MapLayer.Location="{Binding Location}" telerik:MapLayer.BaseZoomLevel="9">

<ToolTipService.ToolTip><ToolTip><ToolTip.Content>

...

</ToolTip.Content></ToolTip></ToolTipService.ToolTip>

<Ellipse Name="myEllipse" Width="20" Height="20"

Stroke="{Binding Stroke}" StrokeThickness="3"StrokeDashArray="2"

Fill="{Binding Fill}" Style="{StaticResource myStyle}" >

<telerik:MapLayer.HotSpot><telerik:HotSpot X="0.5" Y="0.5" /></telerik:MapLayer.HotSpot>

</Ellipse>

</Grid>

</DataTemplate>

</telerik:InformationLayer.ItemTemplate>


The problem is that I want a property (or event) in my custom class for the element to trigger the animation. So far I've tried to do it both in XAML and in code without success.

I would be grateful if you could give me a hint or two of how to solve the issue.
