Animate Window Resize (Width and Height) C# WPF

Question

Hi All,

I'm looking for some help on animating window resize of an open window! Cant seem to figure this one out!

I'm just using atm.

this.Width = 500;

Any help would be great! Thanks.

I have answered this question myself. Here is some sample code.

    static System.Windows.Forms.Timer _Timer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer(); 
    int _Stop = 0;

    private void This_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        _Timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick);
        _Timer.Interval = (20); 

        resize(500,500)
    }

    private void timer_Tick(Object myObject, EventArgs myEventArgs)
    {
        if (_Stop == 0)
        {
            _RatioHeight    = ((this.Height -   _Height)    / 12)* -1;
            _RatioWidth     = ((this.Width -    _Width)     / 12)* -1;
        }
        _Stop++;

        this.Height += _RatioHeight;
        this.Width  += _RatioWidth;

        if (_Stop == 12)
        {
            _Timer.Stop();
            _Timer.Enabled = false;
            _Timer.Dispose();

            _Stop = 0;

            this.Height = _Height;
            this.Width  = _Width;
        }
    }

    public void resize(double _PassedHeight, double _PassedWidth)
    {
        _Height = _PassedHeight;
        _Width  = _PassedWidth;

        _Timer.Enabled = true;
        _Timer.Start();
    }

Resizes the window in 12 "ticks" very quickly, can be slowed down in _Timer.Interval. After 12 ticks will polish it off with a final resize to exact size.

Hope this helps someome.
