Whiletrue check

General

Hello guys

I would like to know if something similar to this is possible:

<Clicked> <WhileTrue optionPanel.Visibility="Hidden"> <Set optionPanel.Visibility="Visible" /> </WhileTrue> </Clicked>

I know I could go through JS but don’t know the limit of WhileTrue.
Thanks

This works:

<Clicked>
    <Set optionPanel.Visibility="Visible" />
</Clicked>

WhileTrue will check a value for True/False.

Hi Bjorn, what is unclear for me is -what- WhileTrue will check. Can it check for a property of a ux:Name tagged object (like my example), an observed variable value or what else ?

THank you,

Hi,

if you want an panel to change state based on something then a WhileTrue is good. They will either check it’s own boolean, or a Observable bound to JS.

    <StackPanel>
        <Button ux:Name="optionPanel">
            <Clicked>
                <Set ShowOption.Value="true" />
            </Clicked>
        </Button>
        <Button>
            <Clicked>
                <Set ShowOption.Value="false" />
            </Clicked>
        </Button>
        <WhileTrue ux:Name="ShowOption">
            <Change optionPanel.Opacity="0" Duration="2" />
        </WhileTrue>
    </StackPanel>

Or like this to do changes to your UX based on JS.

        <WhileTrue Value="{ShowOption}">
            <Change optionPanel.Opacity="0" Duration="2" />
        </WhileTrue>
