How listen timer tick globally?
-1
I want to have a single main timer in my wpf c# app, that´s counting/running independent of current shown page.
My software create different custom controls at truntime, and inside of that controls I need the ability of listen the main tick.
namespace window6
{
public partial class Window6 : Window
{.......
I already try this:
public static DispatcherTimer GlobalTimer = new DispatcherTimer();
GlobalTimer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(500);
GlobalTimer.IsEnabled = true;
Then on any custom control I fire a timer event:
window6.Window6.GlobalTimer.Tick += (global_Elapsed);
The problem is this code act like a new timer on every custom control I use, so every timer event is fired inside every custom control, run as a new timer running not in sync. Not act as a single timer.

You can't be referencing the same timer, somehow.
I created a static class:
using System.Timers;
namespace wpf_GlobalTimer
{
public static class TimerParent
{
public static Timer GlobalTimer { get; set; } = new Timer(3000)
{
AutoReset = true,
Enabled = true
};
}
}I then added a simple window with animation:
<Window.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Key="TestStoryboard">
<DoubleAnimation
From="200"
To="0"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Rectangle.Height)"
Storyboard.TargetName="Rect"
FillBehavior="Stop"
Duration="0:0:2"
/>
</Storyboard>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<Rectangle Name="Rect" Height="200" Fill="Green"/>
</Grid>
</Window>and
public partial class Window1 : Window
{
private Timer timer = null;
private Storyboard sb = null;
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
timer = TimerParent.GlobalTimer;
timer.Elapsed += OnTimedEvent;
sb = this.Resources["TestStoryboard"] as Storyboard;
}
private void OnTimedEvent(Object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
Application.Current.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(new Action(() =>
{
sb.Begin();
}));
}
}in Mainwindow I added a button to instantiate and show multiple window1
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Window win = new Window1();
win.Show();
}When I spin that up and click the button several times I have 3 instances of window1 and their animations are in sync.

Note that i had limited time to do this so it's a bit quick n dirty. Dispatchertimer fires on the ui thread and you could maybe avoid that invokeasync stuff with that.
