In a custom control, how to get the slider value while it is being animated?

WPF



The Storyboard will advance the slider. I need to get the current numerical value of the slider as the storyboard moves. This seems to be difficult.



This is the code I would LIKE to have, BUT VALUE IS NOT ACCESSIBLE.



My question, how can I get the actual slider value while it is being animated???



TIA
