How to: Specify a Timeline's Begin Time

A timeline's BeginTime property determines the beginning of a timeline's active period. If the timeline has a parent timeline, the BeginTime property determines how long it takes the timeline to start after its parent starts. If the timeline is a root timeline (a Storyboard, for example), the BeginTime property determines how long the timeline takes to start playing after it is triggered.

The following example shows several different timelines with different BeginTime settings.

Example

<!-- This example shows how the BeginTime property determines when a timeline starts.
     Several rectangles are animated by DoubleAnimations with identical 
     durations and target values, but with different
     BeginTime settings. -->

                   because of its negative BeginTime. The negative BeginTime
                   setting advances the animation, so that it behaves as though
                   it had already been playing for 2.5 seconds as soon as it is
