Examples

The following example uses the ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames class to animate the Fill property of a Rectangle. This animation uses two key frames in the following manner:

1. Using a DiscreteObjectKeyFrame, the Fill property of the Rectangle suddenly changes to a LinearGradientBrush after the first two seconds of the animation.
2. After the third second of the animation, the Fill property is suddenly changed to a different LinearGradientBrush, which remains until the end of the animation (four seconds total).

         change. -->
