ClockController Class

Interactively controls a Clock.

Namespace: System.Windows.Media.Animation
Assembly: PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public NotInheritable Class ClockController _
    Inherits DispatcherObject

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As ClockController

public sealed class ClockController : DispatcherObject

Visual C++

public ref class ClockController sealed : public DispatcherObject

JScript

public final class ClockController extends DispatcherObject

XAML

You cannot directly create an instance of this class in XAML.

Remarks

Use a ClockController to interactively begin, pause, resume, seek, skip, stop, and remove a Clock. You can only interactively control root-level clocks.

Examples

A Clock object's ClockController property enables you to interactively start, pause, resume, seek, advance the clock to its fill period, and stop the clock. Only the root clock of a timing tree can be interactively controlled.

Note:
There are other ways to interactively control animations that don't require you to work directly with clocks: you can also use Storyboards. Storyboards are supported in both markup and code. For an example, see How to: Animate a Property by Using a Storyboard or the Animation Overview.

In the following example, several buttons are used to interactively control an animation clock.
