Can you please help me with the blur effect that we get on the back panel of the controls…any help would be appreciated

Thanks

I added 2 private properties:

private bool IsLoaded { get; set; }
private bool FlipOnTargetLoadComplete { get; set; }

At the bottom of the TargetLoaded event I set IsLoaded = true, I then check to see if the property FlipOnTargetLoadComplete is set to true, if it is I call the method ExecuteFlip()

The ExecuteFlip() code is below:

public void ExecuteFlip()
{
if (IsLoaded)
{
Invoke(null);
}
else
{
FlipOnTargetLoadComplete = true;
}
}

You need to assign the EventTrigger to an object on your XAML page via codebehind which will allow you to have access to the Flip object in order to make the original call to ExecuteFlip(). Here is how to do that:

Flip flip = new Flip();
flip.TargetName = “LeftNav_Container”;//the Grid that holds the two control
flip.FrontElementName = “LeftNav”;//a ListBox
flip.BackElementName = “back1″;//the back object
flip.Duration = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 1);
flip.Rotation = RotationDirection.RightToLeft;

System.Windows.Interactivity.EventTrigger et = new System.Windows.Interactivity.EventTrigger(“MouseLeftButtonUp”);//execute on a mouse left button up event
et.SourceName = “LeftNav”;
et.Actions.Add(flip);
et.Attach(LeftNav);

Now anywhere in my code-behind I can simply call the flip.ExecuteFlip() method and the animation will execute.

I’m sure there are better ways to do this and I would love to see them but for now this gets the job done.

System.Windows.Interactivity.EventTrigger et = new System.Windows.Interactivity.EventTrigger("MouseLeftButtonUp");
et.SourceName = "LeftNav";
et.Actions.Add(flip);
et.Attach(LeftNav);


However this resolves only part of what I’m trying to accomplish here, what I really need is a way to execute the trigger from logic in the code-behind (like inside the MouseLeftButtonUp event there are certain conditions when I want the flip to occur and other times that I do not want it to).

I’ll continue to dig into this and let you know what I find
