title: Disabling Canvas entrance transtion
body: <p><strong>Nevermind. The issue was that I needed to disable transitions for the contained object which happened to be a Listview. had to disable the ItemContainerTransitions collection.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I dynamically add and remove elements from a Canvas element. When I do, the elements do that nice automatic animation which is completely unneeded for me (since I do all my own animation in this case).</p>
  
  <p>I tried putting an empty TransitionCollection in the Canvas element in XAML and it does not seem to have any effect. I also tried adding an EntranceTransition with a zero offset, but that did not help either.</p>
  
  <p>How do I tell Canvas not to animate my elements as they are added?</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;Canvas.Transitions&gt;
          &lt;TransitionCollection&gt;
              &lt;AddDeleteThemeTransition/&gt;
              &lt;EntranceThemeTransition FromHorizontalOffset="0"/&gt;
          &lt;/TransitionCollection&gt;
      &lt;/Canvas.Transitions&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;Canvas.Transitions&gt;
          &lt;TransitionCollection&gt;
          &lt;/TransitionCollection&gt;
      &lt;/Canvas.Transitions&gt;
  </code></pre>
