Animation on changing anchor property [Solved]

luca

Hi all,
I have this situation:
@
Rectangle {

id: window
width: 800
height: 600

property string statoattuale: "statologin"

FrecciaSx {
    id: frecciasx
    anchors {
        left: window.left
        verticalCenter: window.verticalCenter
    }
}

FrecciaDx {
    id: frecciadx
    anchors {
        right: window.right
        verticalCenter: window.verticalCenter
    }
}

PagePanel {
    id: panelpage
    state: statoattuale
    anchors {
        //left: window.left
        leftMargin: frecciasx.width
        //right: window.right
        rightMargin: frecciadx.width
        //top: window.top
        //bottom: window.bottom
        fill: window

    }
}

}

Now I'd like to hide in some situations the items FrecciaSx and FrecciaDx behind the PagePanel.
To do that I'm trying with:
@
states: [
State {
name: "statologin"

        PropertyChanges {
            target: frecciasx
            anchors.left: panelpage.left
            restoreEntryValues: true
        }
        PropertyChanges {
            target: frecciadx
            anchors.right: panelpage.right
            restoreEntryValues: true
        }
    }
]

It works but I don't know how to animate the movements when hiding the two items.

Is there a solution?

zanes

you can try

@transitions:
Transition{
from:*
to:"statologin"
NumberAnimation{target: frecciadx;duration:100;easing.type:Easing.outExpo}
}
@
and i guess, Behavior should also work on anchors
Add the following to frecciadx and frecciasx
@Behaviour on anchors{
NumberAnimation{easing.type:Easing.OutExpo;duration:1000}
}@

Thanks but the solutions doesn't seems to works.

The first one do nothing without warning or error messages.

With the second one my application stops and I get this message:
@
Invalid property assignment: "anchors" is a read-only property
Behavior on anchors{
^

I know I should position the FrecciaSx and FrecciaDx and set their x propery to move behind the PagePanel but I'd like to position the items with anchor property because I want keep scaling when moving main windows dimensions...

deimos

you must use AnchorChanges in states and AnchorAnimation to animate the changes in transitions

Thanks deimos, it works!

This is the code I used:
@
states: [
State {
name: "statologin"

        AnchorChanges {
            target: frecciasx
            anchors.left: panelpage.left
        }
        AnchorChanges {
            target: frecciadx
            anchors.right: panelpage.right
        }
    },
    State {
        name: "statoriepilogo"
    }
]

transitions:
   Transition{
      AnchorAnimation{
      duration:1000
      }
 }
