Examples
In the following example, two Storyboard objects are used to create an animation transition between two images, stored using ImageSource objects and displayed using an Image control. One storyboard shrinks the image control until it disappears. After it completes, the old ImageSource is swapped with the other ImageSource, and a second storyboard that expands the image control until it is full-sized again.
<!-- TimelineCompletedExample.xaml
This example creates an animated transition between
two images. When the user clicks the Start Transition button,
a storyboard shrinks an image until it disappears.
The Completed event is used to notify the class when this
storyboard has completed. The code behind file handles
this event by swapping the image and making it visible again.

Remarks
If this timeline is the root timeline of a timeline tree, it has completed playing after it reaches the end of its active period (which includes repeats) and all its children have reached the end of their active periods. If this timeline is a child timeline, it is considered to have completely finished playing when the root timeline of the timeline tree to which it belongs reaches the end of its active period and all its child timelines have finished playing.
Stopping a timeline does not trigger its completed event, but skipping it to its fill period does.
The Object parameter of the EventHandler event handler is the timeline's Clock.
Although this event handler appears to be associated with a timeline, it actually registers with the Clock created for this timeline. For more information, see the Timing Events Overview.
