Properties
Methods
Equals, FindName, GetHost, GetValue, SetValue
Remarks
BeginStoryboard is used as a wrapper around a Storyboard that is being triggered. A BeginStoryboard can only contain one Storyboard, not a collection of them.
In addition to starting a storyboard automatically when an object loads, you can use the interactive methods of the Storyboard object to start, pause, resume, and stop an animation. For more information, see the Interactive Animations Overview.
Examples
The following example shows how to use a Storyboard and a BeginStoryboard object to make a rectangle that fades in and out of view after it is loaded.
