DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs Struct

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows

Assembly:

WindowsBase.dll

Provides data for various property changed events. Typically these events report effective value changes in the value of a read-only dependency property. Another usage is as part of a PropertyChangedCallback implementation.

Examples

The following example uses the DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs class in the context of a PropertyChangedCallback for a particular property of a custom class that also defines events. The callback takes the results of old and new values from the property system as communicated by DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs, and repackages these into a different events arguments class RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<T>. The new arguments are then used as the data for a "ValueChanged" event defined by and raised by the custom class.

public static readonly DependencyProperty ValueProperty =
    DependencyProperty.Register(
        "Value", typeof(decimal), typeof(NumericUpDown),
        new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(MinValue, new PropertyChangedCallback(OnValueChanged),
                                      new CoerceValueCallback(CoerceValue)));

private static object CoerceValue(DependencyObject element, object value)
{
    decimal newValue = (decimal)value;

    newValue = Math.Max(MinValue, Math.Min(MaxValue, newValue));

    return newValue;
}

private static void OnValueChanged(DependencyObject obj, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs args)
{
    NumericUpDown control = (NumericUpDown)obj;

    RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<decimal> e = new RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<decimal>(
        (decimal)args.OldValue, (decimal)args.NewValue, ValueChangedEvent);
    control.OnValueChanged(e);
}
/// <summary>
/// Identifies the ValueChanged routed event.
/// </summary>
public static readonly RoutedEvent ValueChangedEvent = EventManager.RegisterRoutedEvent(
    "ValueChanged", RoutingStrategy.Bubble,
    typeof(RoutedPropertyChangedEventHandler<decimal>), typeof(NumericUpDown));

/// <summary>
/// Occurs when the Value property changes.
/// </summary>
public event RoutedPropertyChangedEventHandler<decimal> ValueChanged
{
    add { AddHandler(ValueChangedEvent, value); }
    remove { RemoveHandler(ValueChangedEvent, value); }
}
/// <summary>
/// Raises the ValueChanged event.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="args">Arguments associated with the ValueChanged event.</param>
protected virtual void OnValueChanged(RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<decimal> args)
{
    RaiseEvent(args);
}

Public Shared ReadOnly ValueProperty As DependencyProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Value", GetType(Decimal), GetType(NumericUpDown), New FrameworkPropertyMetadata(MinValue, New PropertyChangedCallback(AddressOf OnValueChanged), New CoerceValueCallback(AddressOf CoerceValue)))

Private Shared Overloads Function CoerceValue(ByVal element As DependencyObject, ByVal value As Object) As Object
    Dim newValue As Decimal = CDec(value)

    newValue = Math.Max(MinValue, Math.Min(MaxValue, newValue))

    Return newValue
End Function

Private Shared Sub OnValueChanged(ByVal obj As DependencyObject, ByVal args As DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs)
    Dim control As NumericUpDown = CType(obj, NumericUpDown)

    Dim e As New RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs(Of Decimal)(CDec(args.OldValue), CDec(args.NewValue), ValueChangedEvent)
    control.OnValueChanged(e)
End Sub

Public Custom Event ValueChanged As RoutedPropertyChangedEventHandler(Of Decimal)
    AddHandler(ByVal value As RoutedPropertyChangedEventHandler(Of Decimal))

    End AddHandler
    RemoveHandler(ByVal value As RoutedPropertyChangedEventHandler(Of Decimal))
        MyBase.RemoveHandler(ValueChangedEvent, value)
    End RemoveHandler
    RaiseEvent(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs(Of Decimal))
    End RaiseEvent
End Event
''' <summary>

Remarks

The events that use the DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs class for event data, and the DependencyPropertyChangedEventHandler method implementations for handlers, generally follow the naming pattern Is*Changed, and are generally implemented as common language runtime (CLR) events without RoutedEvent backing (they are not routed events). Some class handling methods that "handle" otherwise unexposed events that report a state change through a property change, such as ButtonBase.OnIsPressedChanged, also use the DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs class for event data.

The scenario for PropertyChangedCallback is to use the arguments to report old and new values that come from the property system evaluation of the property. A callback that processes old and new values might choose special handling depending on these values, such as choosing to not respond to value changes that are deemed insignificant.

Constructors

DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs(DependencyProperty, Object, Object)

Initializes a new instance of the DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs class.

Properties

NewValue	Gets the value of the property after the change.
OldValue	Gets the value of the property before the change.
Property	Gets the identifier for the dependency property where the value change occurred.

Methods

Equals(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs)	Determines whether the provided DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs is equivalent to the current DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the provided object is equivalent to the current DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs.
GetHashCode()	Gets a hash code for this DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs.

Operators

Equality(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs)	Determines whether two specified DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs objects have the same value.
Inequality(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs)	Determines whether two specified DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs objects are different.
