Come animare l'opacità di un DropShadowEffect?

Question

Ho un progetto WPF con un bordo usando il seguente stile. Il piano è di far sbiadire l'effetto bagliore quando il mouse si sposta oltre il bordo e svanire quando esce.

<Style x:Key="BorderGlow" TargetType="Border">
    <Style.Resources>
        <Storyboard x:Key="GlowOn">
            <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(DropShadowEffect.Opacity)">
                <SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.3" Value="1"/>
            </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
        </Storyboard>
        <Storyboard x:Key="GlowOff">
            <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(DropShadowEffect.Opacity)">
                <SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.3" Value="0"/>
            </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
        </Storyboard>
    </Style.Resources>

    <Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="6,1,6,1" />
    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource SelectedBorder}" />
    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource DeselectedBackground}" />
    <Setter Property="RenderTransformOrigin" Value="0.5,0.5" />
    <Setter Property="TextBlock.Foreground" Value="{StaticResource SelectedForeground}" />

    <Setter Property="RenderTransform">
        <Setter.Value>
            <RotateTransform Angle="90"/>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>

    <Setter Property="Effect">
        <Setter.Value>
            <DropShadowEffect ShadowDepth="0" BlurRadius="8" Color="#FFB0E9EF"/>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>

    <Style.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">

            <Trigger.EnterActions>
                <BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource GlowOn}"/>
            </Trigger.EnterActions>

            <Trigger.ExitActions>
                <BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource GlowOff}"/>
            </Trigger.ExitActions>

        </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

Il problema è che non succede nulla! L'animazione funziona se cambio " DropShadowEffect " a "UIElement" nella Storyboard TargetProperty, ma questo svanisce l'intero controllo.

Come posso sfumare solo DropShadowEffect? ??

Answer 1

Un paio di punti da notare

1) Devi scegliere come target una proprietà effettiva di Border: stai effettivamente cercando di scegliere come target il valore (DropShadowEffect) della proprietà Effect, non la proprietà stessa.

2) Devi ordinare la sintassi del PropertyPath .

Cambia la proprietà Storyboard.Target in quanto segue e dovresti andare bene:

Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Effect).Opacity"

MODIFICA Codice di lavoro come indicato nel commento:

<Border BorderThickness="10" Height="100" Width="100">
    <Border.BorderBrush>
        <SolidColorBrush Color="Red"></SolidColorBrush>
    </Border.BorderBrush>
    <Border.Style>
        <Style TargetType="Border">
            <Style.Resources>
                <Storyboard x:Key="GlowOn">
                    <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" 
                          Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Effect).Opacity">
                        <SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.3" Value="1"/>
                    </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
