How to achieve a rotating shape effect in wpf

Question

I would like to make a WPF effect with a spinning shape similar to the one shown in norton antivirus 2010.

An effect is a rotating shape that changes content when the other side is displayed. But the axis is not in the center of the form, but moves from side to center and back. Like a three-step effect.

The rotating form can be seen on 8 '07 "in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3hHPdgi9Nk&feature=related (I'm sad, but this was only the video that I found on YouTube)

Thanks.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I didn’t look at the details, but I know that the Microsoft team and practice also use similar animation in their StockTrader Reference Implementation for the Composite Application Guide. They subclassed TabControl and added some animation to it. I think the relevant parts of the code can be found here:

• AnimatedTabControl.Desktop.cs
• Generic.xaml

Answer 3

just check this link. He has a code as well as a sample.

From the example, take the TransitionPresenter link in the left pane and select the 3D Rotate from the list. Then select the images from the top list. You can see the same effect in the video. I saw some initial sanctions on the video, and maybe this link can help you.
