Turning off window transition

[Patrick]

Hi,

I am using the Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadWindow. By default it has a transition when it opens and closes. This actually gives the impression the window is opening slowly and thus the system is performing badly. What is the best way to disable this functionality? Can it be done programmatically?

Thanks heaps.

Hello Patrick,

 What you need to do to remove the Transitions of the RadWindow control is to set the AnimationManager.AnimationSelector attached property to a new AnimationSelector object. You could do this in XAML in the following way:

<telerikAnimations:AnimationManager.AnimationSelector>
    <telerikAnimations:AnimationSelector />
</telerikAnimations:AnimationManager.AnimationSelector>

And in C#:

AnimationManager.SetAnimationSelector(window, new AnimationSelector());

The AnimationManager class is in the Telerik.Windows.Controls assembly and in the Telerik.Windows.Controls.Animation namespace.

Hope this helps!

Hello,

A subsequent question - how do I turn off the animation on RadWindow.Cofirm and .Alert windows?

Thanks,
Gili

Hello Gili,

What I would can suggest is to create a Style for the RadWindow control and pass it in the DialogParameters object as WindowStyle. In this style you may either set animations or stop them by setting the AnimationManager.AnimationSelector property. When you set it to null your window will have no animations enabled.

Hope this helps.
