Dependency Property Information
By default, this property is set to nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) and has no TextEffectCollection associated with it. Before adding any text effects, create a new TextEffectCollection and assign it to this property.
The following example shows how to create a simple text effect and apply it to a text of a TextBlock.
// Create and configure a simple color animation sequence. Timespan is in 100ns ticks.
ColorAnimation blackToWhite = new ColorAnimation(Colors.White, Colors.Black, new Duration(new TimeSpan(100000)));
blackToWhite.AutoReverse = true;
blackToWhite.RepeatBehavior = RepeatBehavior.Forever;
// Create a new brush and apply the color animation.
SolidColorBrush scb = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black);
scb.BeginAnimation(SolidColorBrush.ColorProperty, blackToWhite);
// Create a new TextEffect object; set foreground brush to the previously created brush.
TextEffect tfe = new TextEffect();
tfe.Foreground = scb;
// Range of text to apply effect to (all).
tfe.PositionStart = 0;
tfe.PositionCount = int.MaxValue;
// Create a new TextBlock with some text.
TextBlock textBlock = new TextBlock();
textBlock.Text = "Text that flickers...";
// The TextEffects property is null (no collection) by default. Create a new one.
textBlock.TextEffects = new TextEffectCollection();
// Add the previously created effect to the TextEffects collection.
textBlock.TextEffects.Add(tfe);
