I have the following xaml to show a rotating Ellipse:
<Ellipse x:Name="ellipse" Stroke="{StaticResource _SpinnerGradientBrush}" StrokeThickness="20" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5"> <Ellipse.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <RotateTransform Angle="0" /> </TransformGroup> </Ellipse.RenderTransform> <Ellipse.Triggers> <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Ellipse.Loaded"> <BeginStoryboard> <Storyboard> <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="ellipse" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Ellipse.RenderTransform).(RotateTransform.Angle)" Duration="0:0:4" RepeatBehavior="Forever"> <LinearDoubleKeyFrame Value="0" KeyTime="0:0:0" /> <LinearDoubleKeyFrame Value="359" KeyTime="0:0:4" /> </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames> </Storyboard> </BeginStoryboard> </EventTrigger> </Ellipse.Triggers> </Ellipse> The window will display as expected but the animation never starts. I've had this working in Blend but for some reason it does not work when I actually use the xaml in my application. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it.
