Animated panel and ListCollectionView filter

Views for WPF Forum

We have a problem getting an animated wrappanel to animate when the items is filtered using a ListCollectionView, instead of animating the filtered items the entire panel just blinks and the new layout is shown.

The animation works fine when Adding / Removing items, but hiding items using the filter does not. What are we doing wrong?

XAML from out test project:

     <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Items}"
             SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedItem}"
             ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
      <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
          <views:AnimatedWrapPanel />
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
      </ListBox.ItemsPanel>
      <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
          ...
        </DataTemplate>
      </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ListBox>
Where; Items is a ListCollectionView on where we call Refresh() when the filter logic changes and we expects the filter/unfiltered items to be animated.

Hi Kaspar,

When applying a filter to a ListCollectionView, it sends a "reset" notification for the collection. This effectively removes all the items from the ListBox, then re-adds the new non-filtered items. When adding/removing individual items, only those items are affected.

Forgot to reply and say thanks, using the IEditableObject worked. Thanks.
The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 1 month ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
