I have a red border moved by an animation (with a RenderTransform) and the blue border underneath is handling the MouseEnter event.
Unfortunately, the MouseEnter is not fired when the mouse enters the blue border (because the red border has moved away) but when the mouse is moved.
The sample below is tested in Silverlight but I believe the same happens in WPF.
EDIT: after further testing this works in WPF. Is this a bug as MrJul suggests or one of the "missing features" in Silverlight?
XAML
<Grid x:Name="borders" Width="40" Height="20">
<Grid.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Key="blueMove">
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0:0:3" From="0" To="40" Storyboard.TargetName="redBorder"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[0].(TranslateTransform.Y)"/>
</Storyboard>
</Grid.Resources>
<Border Background="Blue" MouseEnter="Border_MouseEnter" />
<Border x:Name="redBorder" Background="Red" MouseLeftButtonDown="Border_MouseLeftButtonDown">
<Border.RenderTransform>
<TransformGroup>
<TranslateTransform Y="0"/>
</TransformGroup>
</Border.RenderTransform>
</Border>
</Grid>
C# code behind
private void Border_MouseEnter(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
// Only called at the first MouseMove
}
private void Border_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
(borders.Resources["blueMove"] as Storyboard).Begin();
}
