Remarks
The RepeatButton class represents a control that resembles a Button. However, repeat buttons give you control over when and how the Click event occurs. The RepeatButton raises the Click event repeatedly from the time it is pressed until it is released. The Delay property determines when the event starts. You can also control the interval of repetitions with the Interval property.
Content Model: RepeatButton is a ContentControl. Its content property is Content.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use a RepeatButton.
static int Clicks = 0;
private void RepeatButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Clicks += 1;
clickTextBlock.Text = "Number of Clicks: " + Clicks;
}
<UserControl x:Class="RepeatButtonEx.Page"
xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Width="350" Height="300">
<StackPanel Margin="10">
<RepeatButton Content="click and hold for multiple Click events"
