• Petya Custom TriggerActions

  Are we supposed to be able to create our own TriggerActions TriggerAction is not sealed, but the abstract 'Invoke'  method is defined as Internal in the base class, so there is no way it can be overridden outside of the WPF assembly. Drew is correct that custom TriggerActions is not really a scenario we were trying to support. In the most recent sources, TriggerAction's constructor is internal. I don't thi ...Show All
