Remarks

Use the CurrentStateInvalidated event when you want to be notified when the CurrentTime of a timeline's Clock is updated.

The Object parameter of the EventHandler event handler is the timeline's Clock.

Although this event handler appears to be associated with a timeline, it actually registers with the Clock created for this timeline. For more information, see the Timing Events Overview.
