Fixed part of my last request
Sacha Barber
Noticed that I had a mistake in my attached property
So fixed that, which is now
using System.Windows;
namespace DirectPlusDemoApp
{
public static class ButtonExtraProps
{
public static double GetScaleTo(DependencyObject obj)
{
return (double)obj.GetValue(ScaleToProperty);
}
public static void SetScaleTo(
DependencyObject obj, double value)
{
obj.SetValue(ScaleToProperty, value);
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty ScaleToProperty =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
"ScaleTo",
typeof(double),
typeof(ButtonExtraProps),
new UIPropertyMetadata(1.0));
}
}
but still cant get Storyboard to work with this Attached property.
Any ideas?

Sorry about the last reply - was looking at the latest emails and didn't see this one indicating you fixed the get/set. I could be wrong but I don't think you'll be able to do what you want. I had tried something similar to this a while back and couldn't get it to work from xaml (in a controltemplate) and ended up having to create the animation in code. The problem I hit is that when the wpf framework seals the template they try to seal everything within the template - including animations which are freezables - and that throws an exception if any of the dp's of that freezable have expressions (i.e. bindings) associated with them.

Fair enough this could explain it. I have certainly had issues with Freezable in animations / binding before, so had to create Clone converters in the past.
Didnt think that an Attached double property would be Freezable though. I thought things like Brushes etc etc were Freezable

It's not the value that is freezable. The animation class (so the doubleanimation in this case) derives from freezable. It is the To property of that freezable class that you are attempting to set to a Binding. The problem really isn't related to the fact that the property to which you are binding is defined as attached or not. Again, maybe the problem you're having isn't the same one I did but it sounds quite similar and I do get the same exception with your setup if I use the following modified version of the animation in the storyboard.
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0:0:0.2" Storyboard.TargetName="imgScale"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(ScaleTransform.ScaleX)"
To="{Binding Path=(local:ButtonExtraProps.ScaleTo), RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.TemplatedParent}}"
AutoReverse="True"/>

Thanks for that, that makes sense somehow.
Thanks for that answer

My wife is going to have a field day with "the geek club".. she
already makes enough fun of me as it is...
My primary sites are:
www.learnexpressionstudio.com which had a very soft launch the other
week back... just gearing up slowly there..
www.x-coders.com which is my company site and support site for stuff,
and home of the blog(s)..
www.expressionblend.com which almost killed me.. and will be revamped
later this year..
and I have a ton of supplementary domains that will be built out over
the next 3 years... (yeah I am on a long term plan here... :-))
I look forward to being involved with some very cool things...
Send me an email if you would like my MSN details, only too happy to
chat, share, help if I can and hopefully learn as well...
Cheers

Good idea sharing the MSN contact info. Mine is galas...@bluewin.ch

Hey Mike..
The book is on shelf on June 2 (or so say the publisher…) so Amazon should ship as well from that date… what a nightmare…
Even though I wrote this book on Blend.. I am still primarily a developer with better then average developer design skills.. I have my good days with art… then others I am back to stick figures L
I will upload the BIO shortly… which will tell the story of my twisted ways…
Cheers for the welcome!

It sounds rather difficult to write a book on Blend. I prefer Word for
my book :)
Cheers. Looking forward to get your book!

Howdy Sacha,
As my first book, it will probably be slated by people like the Infomercial King… like you say.. cant win them all..
I am going to pretend that someone else wrote it and I bought the rights to my name on the cover… ;-)

June 2nd is the release date Sacha. I have no idea if that means stockist will be shipping on that date, but it shouldn’t be far away as I know they have almost completed the print run now.
Thanks for the support!

A belated welcome to you also, Brennon!
I've heard of that Blend program... even installed it once... but then I couldn't figure out what it was for... guess I'll have to give it a try again now that we have the fellow who wrote the book on hand!
