RepeatBehavior Structure

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Describes how a Timeline repeats its simple duration.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Media.Animation
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Structure RepeatBehavior _
    Implements IFormattable

public struct RepeatBehavior : IFormattable

<object property="iterationsx"/>
- or -
<object property="[days.]hours:minutes:seconds[.fractionalSeconds]"/>
- or -
<object property="Forever"/>

XAML Values

  • iterationsx
    The iterations placeholder in the iterations form is an integer, specifying the number of times that an animation should repeat. The x is a literal, lower-case character x. (A way to remember this convention is to think of x as a multiplication character, that is, "3x" means "3 times.")

  • days
    Optional. An integer value greater than or equal to 0 that specifies the number of days.

  • hours
    Required, even if 0. An integer value between 0 and 23 that specifies the number of hours.

  • minutes
    Optional if only hours are desired, but needs to be at least set to 0 if you intend to set a seconds value. An integer value between 0 and 59 that specifies the number of minutes.

  • seconds
    Optional if only hours/minutes are desired. An integer value between 0 and 59 that specifies the number of seconds.

  • fractionalSeconds
    Optional. A value consisting of 1 to 7 digits of decimal precision that specifies fractional seconds.

  • Forever
    The literal "Forever"; see Remarks.

The RepeatBehavior type exposes the following members.

Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone RepeatBehavior(Double) Initializes a new instance of the RepeatBehavior structure with the specified iteration count.

Remarks

There are three types of RepeatBehavior behaviors:

  • Timespan - specifies the length of the Timeline object's active duration. For example, a Timeline with a simple Duration value of 1 second and a RepeatBehavior.Duration value of 2.5 seconds will run for 2.5 iterations.

  • Iteration Count - specifies the number of times the simple duration of a Timeline plays. The default iteration count is 1.0, and means the Timeline is active for exactly one of its simple durations. A count of 0.5 specifies that the timeline is active for half of its simple duration, while a count of 2 specifies that the timeline repeats its simple duration twice. For more information, see the Count property.

  • Forever - the Timeline repeats indefinitely.

Object element usage in XAML is possible but has no practical usage. You cannot declare a RepeatBehavior as a usable, shareable object in a ResourceDictionary.

In the XAML usage shown, [] indicates optional values; the [] are not literals. The : (colon) and . (period) characters, as well as the x for the iterations form, are literals.

JavaScript API Notes

Creating a RepeatBehavior in the JavaScript API is only possible through a type-conversion syntax when setting a property such as RepeatBehavior that takes a RepeatBehavior, with the value specified as a string interpreted by the grammar.

In managed code, you can create a RepeatBehavior using the constructors.

Examples

The following example shows several different ways to set the RepeatBehavior of an animation and how these settings can affect your animation.
