Step 3 - Animate the button that the user drags

In this step you fine-tune the implementation of the drag and drop functionality by playing an animation that wiggles the button when the user drags it.

To animate the button that the user drags:

  1. In Kanzi Studio in the Prefabs > Drag Item prefab select the Image node, in the Node Components > Animation section click + Add Animation, and select Animation Player.
  2. In the Animation Player set:
  3. In the Properties add the Render Transformation Origin property and set the X and Y property fields to 0,5.
    This way you set the animation to move the node from the center point of the node, instead of its top-left corner.
  4. Select File > Export > Export KZB.
  5. In Visual Studio run your application.
    When you drag a button, it wiggles.
