Protected Data Members

Name Description
CAnimationController::gkeyframeStoryboardStart A keyframe that represents start of storyboard.
CAnimationController::m_bIsValid Specifies whether an animation controller is valid or not. This member is set to FALSE if current OS does not support Windows Animation API.
CAnimationController::m_lstAnimationGroups A list of animation groups that belong to this animation controller.

CAnimationController::m_pTransitionLibrary Stores a pointer to Transition Library COM object.

Remarks

The CAnimationController class is the key class that manages animations. You may create one or more instances of animation controller in an application and, optionally, connect an instance of animation controller to a CWnd object using CAnimationController::SetRelatedWnd. This connection is required to send WM_PAINT messages to the related window automatically when animation manager status has changed or animation timer has been updated. If you do not enable this relation, you must redraw a window that displays an animation manually. For this purpose you can derive a class from CAnimationController and override OnAnimationManagerStatusChanged and/or OnAnimationTimerPostUpdate and invalidate one or more windows when necessary.

Requirements

Header: afxanimationcontroller.h

CAnimationController::~CAnimationController

The destructor. Called when animation controller object is being destroyed.

virtual ~CAnimationController(void);

CAnimationController::AddAnimationObject

Adds an animation object to a group that belongs to the animation controller.

CAnimationGroup* AddAnimationObject(CAnimationBaseObject* pObject);

Parameters

pObject
A pointer to an animation object.

Return Value

A pointer to existing or new animation group where pObject has been added if function succeeds; NULL if pObject has already been added to a group that belongs to another animation controller.

Remarks

Call this method to add an animation object to the animation controller. An object will be added to a group according to object's GroupID (see CAnimationBaseObject::SetID). The animation controller will create a new group if it's the first object being added with the specified GroupID. An animation object can be added to one animation controller only. If you need to add an object to another controller, call RemoveAnimationObject first. If you call SetID with new GroupID for an object that has been already added to a group, the object will be removed from the old group and added to another group with specified ID.

CAnimationController::AddKeyframeToGroup

Adds a keyframe to group.

BOOL AddKeyframeToGroup(
    UINT32 nGroupID,
    CBaseKeyFrame* pKeyframe);

Parameters

nGroupID
Specifies Group ID.

pKeyframe
A pointer to a keyframe.

Return Value

TRUE if the function succeeds; otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

Usually you don't need to call this method, use CAnimationController::CreateKeyframe instead, which creates and adds the created keyframe to a group automatically.

CAnimationController::AnimateGroup

Prepares a group to run animation and optionally schedules it.

BOOL AnimateGroup(
    UINT32 nGroupID,
    BOOL bScheduleNow = TRUE);

Parameters

nGroupID
Specifies GroupID.

bScheduleNow
Specifies whether to run animation right away.

Return Value

TRUE if animation was successfully scheduled and run.

Remarks

This method does the actual work creating storyboard, adding animation variables, applying transitions and setting keyframes. It's possible to delay scheduling if you set bScheduleNow to FALSE. In this case the specified group will hold a storyboard that has been set up for animation. At that point you can setup events for the storyboard and animation variables. When you actually need to run the animation call CAnimationController::ScheduleGroup.

CAnimationController::CAnimationController

Constructs an animation controller.

CAnimationController(void);

CAnimationController::CleanUpGroup

Called by the framework to clean up the group when animation has been scheduled.

void CleanUpGroup(UINT32 nGroupID);
void CleanUpGroup(CAnimationGroup* pGroup);

Parameters

nGroupID
Specifies GroupID.

pGroup
A pointer to animation group to clean.

Remarks

This method removes all transitions and keyframes from the specified group, because they are not relevant after an animation has been scheduled.

CAnimationController::CreateKeyframe

Creates a keyframe that depends on transition and adds it to the specified group.

CKeyFrame* CreateKeyframe(
    UINT32 nGroupID,
    CBaseTransition* pTransition);

CKeyFrame* CreateKeyframe(
    UINT32 nGroupID,
    CBaseKeyFrame* pKeyframe,
    UI_ANIMATION_SECONDS offset = 0.0);

Parameters

nGroupID
Specifies Group ID for which keyframe is created.

pTransition
A pointer to transition. Keyframe will be inserted to storyboard after this transition.

pKeyframe
A pointer to base keyframe for this keyframe.

offset
Offset in seconds from the base keyframe specified by pKeyframe.

Return Value

A pointer to newly created keyframe if the function succeeds.

Remarks

You can store the returned pointer and base other keyframes on the newly created keyframe (see the second overload). It's possible to begin transitions at keyframes - see CBaseTransition::SetKeyframes. You don't need to delete keyframes created in this way, because they are deleted automatically by animation groups. Be careful when creating keyframes based on other keyframes and transitions and avoid circular references.

CAnimationController::EnableAnimationManagerEvent

Sets or releases a handler to call when animation manager's status changes.

virtual BOOL EnableAnimationManagerEvent(BOOL bEnable = TRUE);

Parameters

bEnable
Specifies whether to set or release a handler.

Return Value

TRUE if the handler was successfully set or released.

Remarks

When a handler is set (enabled) Windows Animation calls OnAnimationManagerStatusChanged when animation manager's status changes.

CAnimationController::EnableAnimationTimerEventHandler

Sets or releases a handler for timing events and handler for timing updates.

virtual BOOL EnableAnimationTimerEventHandler(
    BOOL bEnable = TRUE,
    UI_ANIMATION_IDLE_BEHAVIOR idleBehavior = UI_ANIMATION_IDLE_BEHAVIOR_DISABLE);

Parameters

bEnable
Specifies whether to set or release the handlers.

idleBehavior
Specifies idle behavior for timer update handler.

Return Value

TRUE if handlers were successfully set or released; FALSE if this method is called for a second time without releasing the handlers first, or if any other error occurs.

Remarks

When the handlers are set (enabled) Windows Animation API calls OnAnimationTimerPreUpdate, OnAnimationTimerPostUpdate, OnRenderingTooSlow methods. You need to enable animation timers to allow Windows Animation API update storyboards. Otherwise you'll need to call CAnimationController::UpdateAnimationManager in order to direct the animation manager to update the values of all animation variables.

CAnimationController::EnablePriorityComparisonHandler

Sets or releases the priority comparison handler to call to determine whether a scheduled storyboard can be canceled, concluded, trimmed or compressed.

virtual BOOL EnablePriorityComparisonHandler(DWORD dwHandlerType);

Parameters

dwHandlerType
A combination of UI_ANIMATION_PHT_ flags (see remarks), which specifies what handlers to set or release.

Return Value

TRUE if the handler was successfully set or released.

Remarks

When a handler is set (enabled) Windows Animation calls the following virtual methods depending on dwHandlerType: OnHasPriorityCancel, OnHasPriorityConclude, OnHasPriorityTrim, OnHasPriorityCompress. dwHandler can be a combination of the following flags: UI_ANIMATION_PHT_NONE - release all handlers UI_ANIMATION_PHT_CANCEL - set Cancel comparison handler UI_ANIMATION_PHT_CONCLUDE - set Conclude comparison handler UI_ANIMATION_PHT_COMPRESS - set Compress comparison handler UI_ANIMATION_PHT_TRIM - set Trim comparison handler UI_ANIMATION_PHT_CANCEL_REMOVE - remove Cancel comparison handler UI_ANIMATION_PHT_CONCLUDE_REMOVE - remove Conclude comparison handler UI_ANIMATION_PHT_COMPRESS_REMOVE - remove Compress comparison handler UI_ANIMATION_PHT_TRIM_REMOVE - remove Trim comparison handler

CAnimationController::EnableStoryboardEventHandler

Sets or releases a handler for storyboard status and update events.

virtual BOOL EnableStoryboardEventHandler(
    UINT32 nGroupID,
    BOOL bEnable = TRUE);

Parameters

nGroupID
Specifies Group ID.

bEnable
Specifies whether to set or release a handler.

Return Value

TRUE if the handler was successfully set or released; FALSE if the specified animation group is now found or animation for the specified group has not been initiated and its internal storyboard is NULL.

Remarks

When a handler is set (enabled) Windows Animation API calls OnStoryboardStatusChanges and OnStoryboardUpdated virtual methods. A handler must be set after CAnimationController::Animate has been called for the specified animation group, because it creates encapsulated IUIAnimationStoryboard object.

CAnimationController::FindAnimationGroup

Finds an animation group by its Group ID.

CAnimationGroup* FindAnimationGroup(UINT32 nGroupID);
CAnimationGroup* FindAnimationGroup(IUIAnimationStoryboard* pStoryboard);

Parameters

nGroupID
Specifies a GroupID.

pStoryboard
A pointer to a storyboard.

Return Value

A pointer to animation group or NULL if the group with specified ID is not found.

Remarks

Use this method to find an animation group at runtime. A group is created and added to the internal list of animation groups when a first animation object with particular GroupID is being added to animation controller.

CAnimationController::FindAnimationObject

Finds animation object containing a specified animation variable.

BOOL FindAnimationObject(
    IUIAnimationVariable* pVariable,
    CAnimationBaseObject** ppObject,
    CAnimationGroup** ppGroup);

A keyframe that represents start of storyboard.

static CBaseKeyFrame gkeyframeStoryboardStart;

CAnimationController::GetKeyframeStoryboardStart

Returns a keyframe that identifies start of storyboard.

static CBaseKeyFrame* GetKeyframeStoryboardStart();

Return Value

A pointer to base keyframe, which identifies start of storyboard.

Remarks

CAnimationController::RemoveAnimationGroup

Removes an animation group with specified ID from animation controller.

void RemoveAnimationGroup(UINT32 nGroupID);

Parameters

nGroupID
Specifies animation group ID.

Remarks

This method removes an animation group from the internal list of groups and deletes it, therefore if you stored a pointer to that animation group, it must be invalidated. If CAnimationGroup::m_bAutodestroyAnimationObjects is TRUE, all animation objects that belong to that group will be deleted; otherwise their references to parent animation controller will be set to NULL and they can be added to another controller.

CAnimationController::RemoveAnimationObject

Remove an animation object from animation controller.

void RemoveAnimationObject(
    CAnimationBaseObject* pObject,
    BOOL bNoDelete = FALSE);

Parameters

pObject
A pointer to an animation object.

bNoDelete
If this parameter is TRUE the object will not be deleted upon remove.

Remarks

Removes an animation object from animation controller and animation group. Call this function if a particular object should not be animated anymore, or if you need to move the object to another animation controller. In the last case bNoDelete must be TRUE.

CAnimationController::RemoveTransitions

Removes transitions from animation objects that belong to the specified group.

void RemoveTransitions(UINT32 nGroupID);

Parameters

nGroupID
Specifies Group ID.

Remarks

The group loops over its animation objects and calls ClearTransitions(FALSE) for each animation object. This method is called by the framework after animation has been scheduled.

CAnimationController::ScheduleGroup

Schedules an animation.

BOOL ScheduleGroup(
    UINT32 nGroupID,
    UI_ANIMATION_SECONDS time = 0.0);

Parameters

nGroupID
Specifies animation Group ID to schedule.

time
Specifies time to schedule.

Return Value

TRUE if animation was scheduled successfully. FALSE if storyboard has not been created, or other error occurs.

Remarks

You must call AnimateGroup with parameter bScheduleNow set to FALSE prior ScheduleGroup. You can specify the desired animation time obtained from IUIAnimationTimer::GetTime. If the time parameter is 0.0, the animation is scheduled for the current time.

CAnimationController::SetRelatedWnd

Establishes a relationship between animation controller and a window.

void SetRelatedWnd(CWnd* pWnd);

Parameters

pWnd
A pointer to window object to set.

Remarks

If a related CWnd object is set, the animation controller can automatically update it (send WM_PAINT message) when the status of animation manager has changed or timer post update event has occurred.

CAnimationController::UpdateAnimationManager

Directs the animation manager to update the values of all animation variables.

virtual void UpdateAnimationManager();

Remarks

Calling this method advances the animation manager to current time, changing statuses of storyboards as necessary and updating any animation variables to appropriate interpolated values. Internally this method calls IUIAnimationTimer::GetTime(timeNow) and IUIAnimationManager::Update(timeNow). Override this method in a derived class to customize this behavior.
