Using EffectManager

EO.Wpf EffectManager offers the ability to play "expand" or "collapse" effect on any FrameworkElement. The following code demonstrates how to "slide in" a button:

Copy 
<Window x:Class="Test.Window1"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:eo="http://schemas.essentialobjects.com/wpf/" 
        Title="Window1"
        Height="300" 
        Width="400">
    <StackPanel>
        <Button x:Name="btnTest" Width="100" Height="30" Click="btnTest_Click">Test</Button>
        <Button x:Name="Button1" Visibility="Collapsed" Width="300">
        
            <!-- Set EffectManager.ExpandEffect attached property -->
            <eo:EffectManager.ExpandEffect>
                <eo:Effect Type="GlideLeftToRight"></eo:Effect>
            </eo:EffectManager.ExpandEffect>
            
            <!-- Set EffectManager.CollapseEffect attached property -->
            <eo:EffectManager.CollapseEffect>
                <eo:Effect Type="GlideLeftToRight"></eo:Effect>
            </eo:EffectManager.CollapseEffect>
            
            This Button will slide in and out
        </Button>
    </StackPanel>
</Window>

The above code set EffectManager.ExpandEffect and EffectManager.CollapseEffect on "Button1". As a result, setting the button's Visiblity automatically triggers the expand effect and collapse effect associated to the button control.
