How to animate the ForegroundColor of all TextBlocks in Style?

Question
-
The following xaml code could animate the ForegroundColor of the TextBlock
<TextBlock Name="MyChangingColorText" Margin="20" Width="640" Height="100" FontSize="48" FontWeight="Bold"> This is changing color text <TextBlock.Foreground> <SolidColorBrush x:Name="MySolidColorBrush" Color="Maroon" /> </TextBlock.Foreground> <!-- Animates the text block's color. --> <TextBlock.Triggers> <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="TextBlock.Loaded"> <BeginStoryboard> <Storyboard> <ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="MySolidColorBrush" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Color" From="DarkOrange" To="SteelBlue" Duration="0:0:5" AutoReverse="True" RepeatBehavior="Forever" /> </Storyboard> </BeginStoryboard> </EventTrigger> </TextBlock.Triggers> </TextBlock>
There are lots of TextBlocks in my UI. So I want to abstract this animation in a Style. But the same xaml code cannot use in the Style
<Style x:Key="aniTextBlock" TargetType="TextBlock"> <Setter Property="Foreground"> <Setter.Value> <SolidColorBrush x:Name="MySolidColorBrush" Color="Gray" /> </Setter.Value> </Setter> <Style.Triggers> <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Binding.TargetUpdated"> <BeginStoryboard> <Storyboard> <ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="MySolidColorBrush" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Color" From="DarkOrange" To="SteelBlue" Duration="0:0:5" AutoReverse="True" RepeatBehavior="Forever" /> </Storyboard> </BeginStoryboard> </EventTrigger> </Style.Triggers> </Style>
( Error:
TargetName property cannot be set on a Style Setter.
)My question is: how to implement the foregroundcolor animation in a Style?

Hi,
The WPF forum on msdn has been retired.
You can post questions about WPF in Microsoft Q&A, and select the windows-wpf tag when posting, or you can select the wpf tag in StackOverflow.
