DynamicResource颜色不起作用

Question

I have the following code:

<Color x:Key="SelectedColor">Gold</Color> 

And a TabItem Style that contains the color

<VisualState x:Name="Selected">
    <Storyboard>
        <ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames 
            Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Shape.Fill).(GradientBrush.GradientStops)[0].(GradientStop.Color)"
            Storyboard.TargetName="InnerRectangle2">
            <EasingColorKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{DynamicResource SelectedColor}"/>
        </ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames>

It turns out I can't use a DynamicResource on an EasingColorKeyFrame .
What can I do to achieve my effect?

I need to set the color dynamically, so just swapping "{DynamicResource SelectedColor}" with "{StaticResource SelectedColor}" is off the table.

I've created a tiny solution to demonstrate the problem - the Selected Tab should be Gold colored, but it's actually transparent, because I guess the VSM can't resolve the color named " SelectedColor "

Answer 1

Animations(VSM) are freezable objects . As soon as you set a binding on a dependency property of a Freezable, you prevent the Freezable from being frozen. Thus, the bindings on the Value property of your EasingColorKeyFrame objects are preventing the storyboards from being frozen.

As a way out you can try any these three approaches whichever suits you best -

• Try declaring the resource as StaticResource and use it in your VSM. StaticResource explanation for VSM

• What i understand from your code is you want the selected tabItem in golden color. So, as a workaround you can do is have the two borders contained in a panel say grid one over other with golden border default visibility as collapsed and normal one visible. Now, on selected event (on property change of IsSelected or whatever aproach) of your tabItem you can swap the visibility of two borders giving the same effect. Of course this workaround is specific to this case, for example it only makes sense if the EasingColorKeyFrame key time is 0, otherwise it doesn't give the same visual effect.

• Lastly, if you want to stick to do it through animation, you can achieve this in code behind . These posts might proves helpful to you - Woakaround for dynamicResource in Animation , Animation in code behind and Setting foreground with VSM

Answer 2

这是因为VSM类型不是逻辑树的一部分，因此无法解析动态资源查找。

I figured out a way to do it with layers. Make multiple copies of your object, and then just modify the transparencies like this:

<VisualState x:Name="Selected">
    <Storyboard>
        <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="InnerRectangleBorder"
                         Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
                         To="0"
                         Duration="0:0:0" />

        <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="InnerRectangleBorderMouseOver"
                         Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
                         To="0"
                         Duration="0:0:0.5" />

        <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="InnerRectangleBorderSelected"
                         Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
                         To="1"
                         Duration="0:0:1" />
    </Storyboard>
</VisualState>
