Hi Support Team I'm using Blend for Windows 8 2012 in Visual Basic I created animations I like to use but I wants my animation to play when the page is load without out using a button to the click event.

Hi Denise,

May I know where you put the code? Or could you simply give me a demo for a better understanding. Basically Blend is a tool that can help generate project code, so look into the code directly might be more helpful.

If you want to play the animation automatically when the page is loaded, you should put the code in the event: Page_Loaded, I create one and works fine(I use C# as the sample and should not be the problem with language syntax):

XAML:

<Page
    x:Class="App94.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="using:App94"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    mc:Ignorable="d" Loaded="Page_Loaded">
    <Page.Resources>
        <Storyboard x:Name="myStoryboard">
            <DoubleAnimation From="1" To="6" Duration="00:00:6" 
            Storyboard.TargetName="rectScaleTransform" 
            Storyboard.TargetProperty="ScaleY">
                <DoubleAnimation.EasingFunction>
                    <BounceEase Bounces="2" EasingMode="EaseOut" 
                            Bounciness="2" />
                </DoubleAnimation.EasingFunction>
            </DoubleAnimation>
        </Storyboard>

    </Page.Resources>
    <Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
        <StackPanel>
            <Rectangle Fill="Blue" Width="200" Height="30">
                <Rectangle.RenderTransform>
                    <ScaleTransform x:Name="rectScaleTransform" />
                </Rectangle.RenderTransform>
            </Rectangle>
        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>
</Page>

CS:

        private void Page_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            myStoryboard.Begin();

        }

Hope this helps.
