Transition Effects
Wizard supports numerous types of animated transition effects to add some extra dazzle to your wizard dialogs during selected page changes.
Different transitions may be applied to forward progress page changes and backward progress page changes.
This allows you to maybe perform a certain transition effect in one direction for forward movement through pages,
and apply it in the opposite direction for backward movement through pages.
Transition Types (Built-In and Custom)
There are numerous built-in transitions that are available for use including:
- None - Instant page change.
- Barn door wipe - A wipe transition between two pages that uses two straight bars with a configurable gradient spread.
- Bar wipe - A wipe transition between two pages that uses a straight bar with a configurable gradient spread.
- Box wipe - A wipe transition between two pages that uses a box.
- Fade - The old selected page fades into the new one with optional blur effect.
- Faded zoom - A crossfade transition between two elements that zooms the new content in as well.
- Four box wipe - A wipe transition between two pages that uses four boxes.
- Slide - A slide transition between two pages that moves one page over the other.
- Push - A slide transition between two pages that pushes one page out of the way for the other.
- Wedge wipe - A wipe transition between two pages that uses a wedge shape.
Custom transitions can easily be built programmatically or in XAML.
Sample Transitions
Here are samples of three of the most popular transition effects, and how they appear before, during, and after a page change.
Wizard Transition Settings
You have full control over the duration of forward and backward transitions, the default "direction" they should use,
and which transitions should be used.
Included classes make it easy to use a single transition, randomly pick a transition from a list,
or write your own logic to select a transition based on the "from" and "to" pages.
