Sliding effect when adding new items to a WPF ListBox
I have a WPF ListBox control which displays items of an RSS feed. I occasionally check the source of the RSS feed for new items. Once I detect a new item I add it to the observable collection which immediately adds the new item to the ListBox display.
Is there a way to 'slide in' the new item from the top, pushing down the existing items? How would I achieve such an effect? Can it be done with a ListBox, or do I need to resort to my own container, 开发者_运维百科such as a StackPanel and animate for example the Height of newly added controls programmatically?
I just posted an answer to this question which is very similar to yours.
WPF how to animate a list of components
It can be done with a ListBox. Use the ItemContainerStyle to style the ListBoxItems that the binding creates for you: this style can include animations, e.g. by adding an EventTrigger for the Loaded event to the Style.Triggers, and transforms. For example, in your trigger action you could animate the Height so the item expands into place, or if the height is unknown you could have your style set a ScaleTransform and in your trigger action animate the ScaleY of that transform from 0 to 1.
