This example shows how to use the xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline.RepeatBehavior%2A property of a xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline in order to control the repeat behavior of an animation.
The xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline.RepeatBehavior%2A property of a xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline controls how many times an animation repeats its simple duration. By using xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline.RepeatBehavior%2A, you can specify that a xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline repeats for a certain number of times (an iteration count) or for a specified time period. In either case, the animation goes through as many beginning-to-end runs that it needs in order to fill the requested count or duration.
By default, timelines have a repeat count of 1.0, which means they play one time and do not repeat. However, if you set the xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline.RepeatBehavior%2A property of a xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline to xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.RepeatBehavior.Forever%2A, the timeline repeats indefinitely.
The following example shows how to use the xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline.RepeatBehavior%2A property to control the repeat behavior of an animation. The example animates the xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Width%2A property of five rectangles with each rectangle using a different type of repeat behavior.
