State transition effect missing in Blend 2015


In all videos I have seen there should be a fx button in Blend, allowing one to change between different types of transition effects. Question is simple, where is it? Do I need to do something special to enable it in Blend?

Please see a screenshot below how it looks. Where I have painted fx in red there should be a fx button.

I am working in a WPF project.

Solution

  • It turned out that States window in Blend only shows fx when your project type is WPF Application or WPF User Control Library. When your are worling with Class Library project, states window does not display fx button for VisualStateGroup.

    Only workaround is to create an new WPF User Control Library project.
