Custom transition between Pages in WinRT

Question

I'd like to know if there is any way to create custom animations for transitions between to Page s in WinRT.

Currently the only way I've found to animate the entrance of a Page is to add this kind of stuff in its xaml :

<Page.Transitions>
  <TransitionCollection>
    <PaneThemeTransition Edge="Right" />
  </TransitionCollection>
</Page.Transitions>

Which makes it slide in from the right. The problem is I also want the current page to slide out to the left at the same time. Currently it only disappears, leaving the screen black while the new page slides in. I also need to choose when to use the animation, depending on which page I'm coming from.

Answer 1

Check out the Frame.Navigate method.

You can use that to define the animation for a page you are navigating to by the NavigationTransitionInfo class.

With fine tuning your own animations you will probably want to try build your own PageTransition using StoryBoards.
