ColorKeyFrameAnimation Class

Definition

Namespace:: Windows.UI.Composition

Edit

A time-based animation that targets the Color property with one or more color key frames.

The ColorKeyFrameAnimation class is one of the supported types of KeyFrameAnimation s that is used to animate the Color property off of the Brush property on a SpriteVisual. When working with ColorKeyFrameAnimation s, utilize Windows.UI.Color objects for the values of keyframes. Utilize the InterpolationColorSpace property to define which color space the system will interpolate through for the animation.

Equivalent WinUI class: Microsoft.UI.Composition.ColorKeyFrameAnimation.

Examples

void ColorAnimation(SpriteVisual visual)
{
  // Create the ColorKeyFrameAnimation
  var colorAnimation = _compositor.CreateColorKeyFrameAnimation();

  // Create the KeyFrames using Windows.UI.Color objects
  colorAnimation.InsertKeyFrame(0.5f, Colors.Purple);
  colorAnimation.InsertKeyFrame(1.0f, Colors.Cyan);

  // Set the interpolation to go through the HSL space
  colorAnimation.InterpolationColorSpace = CompositionColorSpace.Hsl;
  colorAnimation.Duration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3);

  // Apply the cubic-bezier to a KeyFrame
  visual.Brush.StartAnimation("Color", colorAnimation);
}

Remarks

Use the CompostionObject.StartAnimation and CompostionObject.StopAnimation methods to start and stop the animation.

An animation is associated with an object's property by calling CompositionObject.StartAnimation and specifying the property name and the animation. See the remarks section of CompositionObject.StartAnimation for a list of animatable properties.

Properties

Comment	A string to associate with the CompositionObject. Equivalent WinUI property: Microsoft.UI.Composition.CompositionObject.Comment. (Inherited from CompositionObject)
Compositor	The Compositor used to create this CompositionObject. Equivalent WinUI property: Microsoft.UI.Composition.CompositionObject.Compositor. (Inherited from CompositionObject)
DelayBehavior	The delay behavior of the key frame animation. Equivalent WinUI property: Microsoft.UI.Composition.KeyFrameAnimation.DelayBehavior. (Inherited from KeyFrameAnimation)
DelayTime	Delay before the animation starts after CompositionObject.StartAnimation is called. Equivalent WinUI property: Microsoft.UI.Composition.KeyFrameAnimation.DelayTime. (Inherited from KeyFrameAnimation)
Direction	The direction the animation is playing. The Direction property allows you to drive your animation from start to end or end to start or alternate between start and end or end to start if animation has an IterationCount greater than one. This gives an easy way for customizing animation definitions. Equivalent WinUI property: Microsoft.UI.Composition.KeyFrameAnimation.Direction. (Inherited from KeyFrameAnimation)
Dispatcher	The dispatcher for the CompositionObject. (Inherited from CompositionObject)

InterpolationColorSpace	The color space the color interpolation should run through. The ColorKeyFrameAnimation.InterpolationColorSpace property enables a developer to choose what color space the system will interpolate through when animating between two colors. Developers can choose between the CompositionColorSpace enum values Rgb, Hsl, or Auto (system chosen). Equivalent WinUI property: Microsoft.UI.Composition.ColorKeyFrameAnimation.InterpolationColorSpace.
