Question

I have a WPF canvas on which I\'m dynamically creating objects from code. These objects are being transformed by setting the RenderTransform property, and an animation needs to

Answer 1

No need to register the transform or add the storyboard to the resource collection if the target is the FrameworkElement you want to animate. You can use Blend to generate the PropertyPath syntax.

frameworkElement.RenderTransform = new TransformGroup
        {
            Children =
            {
                new ScaleTransform(),
                new SkewTransform(),
                new RotateTransform(),
                translate
            }
        };
translate.X = 100.0;
var animation = new DoubleAnimation(0.0, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
var sb = new Storyboard();            
sb.Children.Add(animation);
Storyboard.SetTarget(animation, frameworkElement);
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(animation, new PropertyPath("(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[3].(TranslateTransform.X)"));
sb.Begin();
