  1. POHow to animate a resource in XAML?
    text
    copied!<p>In an XAML document, I have a gradient brush as a resource and a bunch of shapes that use this resource. I would like to animate the brush using a storyboard, but I don't know how to set the brush in resources as the target of storyboard. Simply using its name does not work, {StaticResource name} does not work either. Is it even possible?</p> <p>I would prefer an XAML only solution, but if that does not work out, I'll use code-behind. If it lets me leave Storyboard.Target and Storyboard.TargetProperty unassigned.</p> <p>EDIT: I would like to animate a gradient stop of the brush. The thing is that I can animate it easily when it's not a resource, but is applied directly on an object. I can do that by clicking in Expression Blend. I just don't know how to animate it when its a resource (i.e. what to put instead of the ?? in the code below (the storyboard was created for a rectangle))</p> <pre><code>code: &lt;UserControl.Resources&gt; &lt;LinearGradientBrush x:Key="Outline" EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0"&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#7F7CE3FF" Offset="0"/&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#7F047695" Offset="1"/&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#FFFFFFFF" Offset="0.942"/&gt; &lt;/LinearGradientBrush&gt; &lt;Storyboard x:Key="Glitter"&gt; &lt;DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetName="??" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Shape.Fill).(GradientBrush.GradientStops)[0].(GradientStop.Offset)"&gt; &lt;SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00" Value="0"/&gt; &lt;SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:02.6000000" Value="0.529"/&gt; &lt;/DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames&gt; &lt;/Storyboard&gt; ... </code></pre>
