AnimationDescription.StaggerDelay Property

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.UI.Core.AnimationMetrics

Gets the amount of time between the application of the animation effect to each object in a target that contains multiple objects. The StaggerDelay, together with the StaggerDelayFactor and DelayLimit, is one of the three elements used to control the relative timing of the animation effects.

public:
 property TimeSpan StaggerDelay { TimeSpan get(); };

TimeSpan StaggerDelay();

public System.TimeSpan StaggerDelay { get; }

var timeSpan = animationDescription.staggerDelay;

Public ReadOnly Property StaggerDelay As TimeSpan

Property Value

TimeSpan TimeSpan

The stagger delay time, expressed in 100-nanosecond units.

Remarks

Consider a target that consists of four objects— labeled A, B, C, and D— with a StaggerDelay of 100 ms. Object A animates at time t=0, object B at time t=100 ms, object C at time t=200 ms, and object D at time t=300 ms.

However, the StaggerDelay time between each object's animation can be changed by the values of the StaggerDelayFactor and DelayLimit. See those topics for a discussion of their effect on the relative animation timing.

Note that an animation can have its own inherent delay in addition to its StaggerDelay.
