AnimatedImage.Wpf 2.0.0

A simple library to display animated GIF images and animated PNG images in WPF and AvaloniaUI, usable in XAML or in code.

How to use

These properties are compatible with those of WpfAnimatedGif.

It's very easy to use: in XAML, instead of setting the Source property, set the AnimatedSource attached property to the image you want:

<Window x:Class="WpfAnimatedGif.Demo.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:anim="https://github.com/whistyun/AnimatedImage.Wpf"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <Image anim:ImageBehavior.AnimatedSource="Images/animated.gif" />

You can also specify the repeat behavior (the default is 0x, which means it will use the repeat count from the GIF metadata):

<Image anim:ImageBehavior.RepeatBehavior="3x"
       anim:ImageBehavior.AnimatedSource="Images/animated.gif" />

And of course you can also set the image in code:

var image = new BitmapImage();
image.BeginInit();
image.UriSource = new Uri(fileName);
image.EndInit();
ImageBehavior.SetAnimatedSource(img, image);

Features

• Animates GIF images in a normal Image control; no need to use a specific control
• Takes actual frame duration into account
• Repeat behavior can be specified; if unspecified, the repeat count from the GIF metadata is used
• Notification when the animation completes, in case you need to do something after the animation
• Animation preview in design mode (must be enabled explicitly)
• Support for controlling the animation manually (pause/resume/seek)
