How to: Receive Notification When a Clock's State Changes

A clock's xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Clock.CurrentStateInvalidated event occurs when its xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Clock.CurrentState%2A becomes invalid, such as when the clock starts or stops. You can register for this event with directly using a xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Clock, or you can register using a xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline.

In the following example, a xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Storyboard and two xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.DoubleAnimation objects are used to animate the width of two rectangles. The xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline.CurrentStateInvalidated event is used to listen for clock state changes.

Example

[!code-xamltimingbehaviors_snip#_graphicsmm_StateExampleMarkupWholePage]

[!code-csharptimingbehaviors_snip#_graphicsmm_StateEventHandlers] [!code-vbtimingbehaviors_snip#_graphicsmm_StateEventHandlers]

The following illustration shows the different states the animations enter as the parent timeline (Storyboard) progresses.

Clock states for a Storyboard with two animations

The following table shows the times at which Animation1's xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline.CurrentStateInvalidated event fires:

Time (Seconds) 1 10 19 21 30 39
State Active Active Stopped Active Active Stopped

The following table shows the times at which Animation2's xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline.CurrentStateInvalidated event fires:

Time (Seconds) 1 9 11 19 21 29 31 39
State Active Filling Active Stopped Active Filling Active Stopped

Notice that Animation1's xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Timeline.CurrentStateInvalidated event fires at 10 seconds, even though its state remains xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.ClockState.Active. That's because its state changed at 10 seconds, but it changed from xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.ClockState.Active to xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.ClockState.Filling and then back to xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.ClockState.Active in the same tick.
