Public ReadOnly Property OldValue As Object

Property Value

Object

The property value before the change.

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);
}

Remarks

The type of the value provided should always be castable to the type of the dependency property being reported.
