AnimatedExpander

The AnimatedExpanderDecorator is a Decorator that expands and contracts content using animation.

The AnimatedExpanderDecorator class has these important members:

Member	Description
ExpandDirection Property	Gets or sets the direction in which to expand. The default value is `ExpandDirection.Down`.
IsAnimationEnabled Property	Gets or sets whether animation is enabled. The default value is `true`.
IsExpanded Property	Gets or sets if the decorator is expanded. The default value is `false`.

Note

The AnimatedExpanderDecorator is used in the Actipro Themes control template for the Expander control to provide the animation behavior, and is ideal for use in many other content reveal scenarios as well.

The following example demonstrates how the decorator can be used to animate the reveal of additional content:

xmlns:actipro="http://schemas.actiprosoftware.com/avaloniaui"
...
<StackPanel>
	<CheckBox x:Name="showMoreCheckBox">Show more content</CheckBox>
	<actipro:AnimatedExpanderDecorator IsExpanded="{Binding #showMoreCheckBox.IsChecked}">
		<TextBlock>
			Define additional content here and it will animate into view when the checkbox is checked.
		</TextBlock>
	</actipro:AnimatedExpanderDecorator>
</StackPanel>
