Trigger storyboard on Button click?

Question

When I try to start my app with this code it throws an exception saying error text cannot be found.

<Button> <Button.Triggers> <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Button.Click"> <BeginStoryboard> <Storyboard> <DoubleAnimation Duration="0:0:05" To="1" From="0" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentGrid" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" /> </Storyboard> </BeginStoryboard> </EventTrigger> </Button.Triggers> </Button>

Seems like something wrong with the routed event property. What will fix this exception.

I had left one comment, then realized I didn't pay attention. That way of doing it like you're used to in WPF isn't accepted in UWP. You'll either need to do interaction triggers or just do a quick Storyboard.Begin() method to call it via Click="MethodName" on the button with a one liner of codebehind. If I wasn't in a rush I'd pop you an example but I'm sure someone will read this and grab the points. :) — Chris W.

I was hoping for no code behind lol. I'm trying to do interaction triggers but I haven't figured out how to add a story board to it. it complains when I do. — shady

I think the best way is to use a Behavior. It's their purpose to extend the functions of basic controls combined with reusability. You can see a snippet right over here on Windows blog (and as I see, it's a part of the framework in Namespace: Microsoft.Xaml.Interactions.Core Assembly: Microsoft.Xaml.Interactions in Microsoft.Xaml.Interactions.dll).

<Button x:Name="button"> <Interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors> <Core:EventTriggerBehavior EventName="Click"> <Media:ControlStoryboardAction Storyboard="storyboard1"/> </Core:EventTriggerBehavior> </Interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors> </Button>
