Find element inside rectangle.

Question

Here is some XAML

<Rectangle Name="rec" Fill="White" Stroke="#FF000000" Width="90" Height="15" RadiusX="4" RadiusY="4">

 

<Rectangle.Resources>

<Storyboard Name="rectangleStoryboard" Storyboard.TargetName="animatingGradientStop" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Color" >

<ColorAnimation From="Black" To="White" Duration="0:0:2" AutoReverse="True" RepeatBehavior="Forever" />

</Storyboard>

<Storyboard Name="StoryBoardTop" Storyboard.TargetName="rectangle" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Canvas.Top)">

<DoubleAnimation Name="animationTop" Duration ="0:0:1" />

</Storyboard>

So I would like to find

sender.FindName("animationTop")

but without having to use "animationTop"

I would like to get the sotryboard element from the sender without using the name since I'm going to have multiple of these and i don't want to reference by name.

My other option would be to have duplicate Names. From what I read this is possible by associateing a chunk of objects with namescopes by using the followinng control.Content.CreateFromXaml and passing True for the second parameter. But how can i accomplish this without having to use the method CreatFromXaml?

 

Thank you

If you know the sequence of the DoubleAnimation in storyboard then you can call them without name property

In your case,

StoryBoardTop.Children(0)

Answer 3

Ok when canvas is clicked I'm able to get to the rectangle inside canvas by sender.children.GetItem(0) that's no problem. But how do I get to the property elements usind index not name?

I don't think StoryBoardTop.Children(0) is even valid.
