Preface

To understand animations in WPF, please read the Microsoft documentation first. You should understand the following concepts:

The iPlus Designer does not offer a tool to create animations. Either you program directly in XAML code or you use Blend for Visual Studio. Then a storyboard created with Blend (XAML code) copy via clipboard in the iPlus XAML editor.

Here are a few links with tutorials, how to create animations with Blend:

Storyboard

Animations via event trigger

EventTrigger is required to start storyboards when a surface event has occurred. Mostly these are mouse, keyboard or pen events .

To do this, open the trigger window (click on the triangle in the top right corner). In the trigger window, press the "Event" key (1) . Then select the event in the "Trigger data" tab at which the storyboard should be started (2) :

Close the trigger window and switch to the XAML editor. An EventTrigger was added to a Triggers list. Here's an example:

Then you have to insert the section with <BeginStoryboard> yourself by copying the XAML code for the storyboard from Blend using "cut-and-paste".
