IUIAnimationManager interface

Defines the animation manager, which provides a central interface for creating and managing animations.

When to implement

Client applications do not need to implement this interface. Custom implementations are not supported.

When to use

Client applications use this interface to manage animations. An application must create an instance of the UIAnimationManager object and query for this interface in order to begin using Windows Animation.

Members

The IUIAnimationManager interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IUIAnimationManager also has these types of members:

Remarks

IUIAnimationManager defines a central control object for animations. A single instance of IUIAnimationManager is typically used to compose, schedule, and manage all animations for a client application.

IUIAnimationVariable, IUIAnimationTransition, and IUIAnimationStoryboard are the primary components for building animations. Use IUIAnimationManager to create and manage these components.

Examples

For an example that creates the animation manager object, see Create the Main Animation Objects.
