AnimatedExpander

The AnimatedExpander is a regular Expander that provides optional animated expansion functionality. The animation consists of crossfade and slide behavior.

The AnimatedExpander class has these important members:

Member	Description
CanMeasureCollapsedContent Property	Gets or sets whether the expander will use the width measurement of collapsed content when calculating its own width. The default value is `true`. When `true`, a consistent width will be maintained when collapsed. When `false`, the expander will load faster (if collapsed) since less measuring is taking place.
CollapseDuration Property	Gets or sets the `Duration` of the collapse animation. The default value is `150` milliseconds.
`ExpandDirection` Property	Gets or sets the `ExpandDirection` of the expand animation. The default value is `ExpandDirection.Down`.
ExpandDuration Property	Gets or sets the `Duration` of the expand animation. The default value is `150` milliseconds.
HeaderContextMenu Property	Gets or sets the context menu used for the header.
HeaderCornerRadius Property	Gets or sets the corner radius used by the header.
HeaderPadding Property	Gets or sets the `Thickness` of the padding around header content.
IsAutoCollapseOnBlurEnabled Property	Gets or sets whether the expander will auto-collapse when focus leaves it. The default value is `false`.
IsAutoExpandOnFocusEnabled Property	Gets or sets whether the expander will auto-expand when focus enters it. The default value is `false`.
IsAutoFocusOnExpandEnabled Property	Gets or sets whether focus will attempt to be set in the content of the expander following the completion of the expansion animation. The default value is `false`.

The AnimatedExpanderDecorator decorator is used in the template for the AnimatedExpander to provide the actual animation behavior.
