.NET Framework Class Library for Silverlight

Storyboard.Seek Method

Moves the storyboard to the specified animation position. The storyboard performs the requested seek when the next clock tick occurs.

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

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Sub Seek ( _
	offset As TimeSpan _
)

public void Seek(
	TimeSpan offset
)

Parameters

offset: Type: System.TimeSpan
A positive or negative time value that describes the amount by which the timeline should move forward or backward from the beginning of the animation. By using the TimeSpan Parse behavior, a TimeSpan can be specified as a string in the following format (in this syntax, the [] characters denote optional components of the string, but the quotes, colons, and periods are all a literal part of the syntax):
"[days.]hours:minutes:seconds[.fractionalSeconds]"
- or -
"days"

Examples

The following example shows how to use the Seek method. When you click the rectangle created by the following XAML, the animation jumps to 3 seconds from the beginning of the animation.
