Animating a stackpanel using Artefact

Question

I'm trying to get animation working using Artefact Animator: Artefact on Codeplex

The relevant XAML:

    <Button x:Name="adminButton"
       Content="Admin Console"
       HorizontalAlignment="Left"
       Margin="25,215,0,0"
       VerticalAlignment="Top"
       Width="98"
       Click="adminPanelCall"/>

And:

    <StackPanel x:Name="adminPanel"
       Width="300"
       Background="#FFD4D4D4"
       Margin="750,0,0,0" />

In the code behind I have:

private void adminPanelCall(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        ArtefactAnimator.AddEase(adminPanel, Margin.Left, 500, 1, AnimationTransitions.CubicEaseInOut, 0);
    }

I'm referencing the WPF .dll and have made sure to include 'using Artefact.Animation;' I'm guessing the property I'm trying to animate is not correct?

Thank you for any help.

You can use the predefined constants in the AnimationTypes class to tell which property you want to animate:

ArtefactAnimator.AddEase(adminPanel, AnimationTypes.MarginLeft, 500, 1, AnimationTransitions.CubicEaseInOut, 0);
