Deep content change doesn't work !

[MahMah]

Hello,
Suppose we have this XAML :

<StackPanel>
    <telerik:RadTransitionControl x:Name="tr1">
        <Label x:Name="lblMessage"></Label>
    </telerik:RadTransitionControl>
    <Button Content="Button"  Height="23" Name="button1" Width="75" Click="button1_Click" />
</StackPanel>

and when button1_Click has this code :

tr1.Content = DateTime.Now.ToString();

It works well.
 But replacing it with this code :

lblMessage.Content = DateTime.Now.ToString();

causes the transition to not to work !

It seems that it only detects first layer changes in content and doesn't detect deep change.

So have I forgotten something here or its the nature of this control ?

Hello,

The transition is triggered when a property of the RadTransitionControl is changed. For example Content or ContentTemplate. If you want to have a label inside and use a transition when the label's content changes you could create a DataTemplate for the ContentTemplate of the RadTransitionControl, put a Label inside and set Content="{Binding}" on that label. Then instead of setting the content of the Label - set the content of the RadTransitionControl. Every time you set new content, new label would be created with the text applied and a transition would be triggered.

We can not listen for changes in the whole visual tree of the RadTransitionControl.
