Slider Binding: Update only on Drag Ended

Parameters#

Parameter	Detail
Value (float)	The property bound to this Dependency Property will be updated whenever the user will cease dragging the slider
## Remarks#


Make sure to reference the System.Windows.Interactivity assembly, so that the XAML Parser will recognize the xmlns:i declaration.


Note that the xmlns:b statement matches the namespace where the behavior implementation resides


Example assumes working knowledge of binding expressions and XAML.


## Behavior Implementation

using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Controls.Primitives;
using System.Windows.Interactivity;

namespace MyBehaviorAssembly
{

public class SliderDragEndValueBehavior : Behavior<Slider>
{

    public static readonly DependencyProperty ValueProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
        "Value", typeof (float), typeof (SliderDragEndValueBehavior), new PropertyMetadata(default(float)));

    public float Value
    {
        get { return (float) GetValue(ValueProperty); }
        set { SetValue(ValueProperty, value); }
    }

    protected override void OnAttached()
    {
        RoutedEventHandler handler = AssociatedObject_DragCompleted;
        AssociatedObject.AddHandler(Thumb.DragCompletedEvent, handler);
    }

    private void AssociatedObject_DragCompleted(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Value = (float) AssociatedObject.Value;
    }

    protected override void OnDetaching()
    {
        RoutedEventHandler handler = AssociatedObject_DragCompleted;
        AssociatedObject.RemoveHandler(Thumb.DragCompletedEvent, handler);
    }
}
}
