Re: Carousel3D vs Carousel

CenterChild() will animate the child if you pass the second parameter as a timespan greater than zero. For example, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(500) could be used for a half second animation. If you want it to be a half second per quarter turn, then pass the last parameter as true.

Re: Carousel3D vs Carousel

Hi tkd. Welcome to the wonderful world of WPF! Hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us. :-) Carousel3D is a true 3D control, whereas Carousel is a 2D Panel that simulates 3D. In WPF, layout elements like Grid, StackPanel, WrapPanel, and Canvas all derive from the Panel class. A Panel is used to size...
