C# WPF - The longer I press on a button the faster will be counted

Question

I just "build" a Numeric Up Down button. Now I have a question, I would like that if I press the button longer the longer the presses are counted faster. But only after 1-2 seconds. As well as the normal Numeric Up Down Button. If you clicked on the button, the faster it was counted up.

How do I do that ?

Answer 1

You could add a timer and in on mousebutton down, start the timer, in the mousebutton up, stop it.

The timer, if time since mouse down is >2s could +1 to an increment, so that the count goes up by the increment.. so each iteration it goes up faster and faster, or just uses the timer to +1 if <2s and +5 or something after 2s .. choices are yours
