Start ripple animation from code

[Patrick]

Hello,

I have a custom RadTileElement where the ripple animation is enabled.

The animation works when clicking the tile element, but is it possible to raise/start the ripple animation from code?

This to draw the attention of the user to the tile element.

Hello, Patrick, 

The ripple animation is designed to be performed when you click an item with the mouse. However, you can simulate clicking with the mouse over a specific location on the tile element by using reflection: 

public RadForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.radTileElement1.EnableRippleAnimation = true;
}

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radTileElement1.EnableRippleAnimation = true;
    MethodInfo mi = typeof(RadItem).GetMethod("StartRippleAnimation", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    MouseEventArgs args = new MouseEventArgs(System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left, 1,
        this.radTileElement1.Location.X + this.radTileElement1.Size.Width / 2,
        this.radTileElement1.Location.Y + this.radTileElement1.Size.Height / 2,1);

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi Dess,

 

Thanks for your response.

Is the code complete?

If I read the code, only variables are created..

Hello, Patrick, 

If you refer to the provided code snippet in my previous post, you will notice that via reflection the StartRippleAnimation method is invoked. I have attached my sample project for your reference. It is just necessary to click the button.

I hope this information helps.
