Slide Show

Slides

Each slide is a BinarySlideShowItem holding any content. Add them to Slides, which every slide show starts with, empty. To show a single slide of your own choosing, set SlideContent or call PlayThisSlide.

Playing

Play starts the timer, which shows the next slide every SlideTransitionTimerInterval milliseconds, going back to the first after the last; the first slide appears one interval after the start. Pause, Resume and Stop control the timer, and StartSlideShowOnceInstantiated plays without a call. The timer runs only while the control is on screen, so a slide show on a page the user has left stops by itself and carries on when the page is shown again.

Moving by hand

Next, Previous, GoToFirstSlide, GoToLastSlide and GoToThisSlide move through the slides – from buttons, or the arrow keys. Each action raises an AboutTo... event first, such as AboutToGoToNextSlide; set CancelEventArgs.Cancel in it to stop the action.

Effects

SlideTransitionEffect chooses the transition, and can be changed between slides. Several effects use the control's own UIElement.Effect, UIElement.RenderTransform, UIElement.OpacityMask or template, so leave those to the control.

A self-running kiosk show with a fade every five seconds, and buttons to move by hand.
