Actipro Views offers custom controls and a range of panels that support fluid animations of their child elements for the Windows Presentation Foundation framework.
Several built-in animations are included, which can be easily customized, or you can build your own using native WPF animations.
Drop-in replacements are available for several native WPF panels, including Canvas, DockPanel, StackPanel, and WrapPanel.
