WPF control is on top of the window border, how do I stop that? - wpf

I have a WPF window and an Image in a grid in the window. I am animating the Image so it moves from out of view (beyond widow location) into the window.
The animation is nice and smooth and everything works but I notice the image is over top of the window border while it is moving. The image at the end of this question is what it looks like.
Why would the image be over top of the window border, and how do I get it to be "under" the border?
Thanks in advance!

Well after a lot of trial and error it seems the problem was the fact I was moving the image in a grid that had no defined width, so the width would expand over the border when moving the image thus extending the "client" area of the window and showing over the window area.
Once I defined a specific width of the grid, everything worked.

Crop WPF control

I have to crop some control to show only a half of it but the rest should be transparent and clickable so it is not enough to cover the control with something. The result should give a control with only half of the content (for example 50% of top) and the rest should be cropped (not hidden) so some other control below should be visible and not overlapped by cropped part. New control should also scale when window is scaled. How to do this in WPF?
I have finally did the trick using Border around the control and Clip property of this border was set to Multibinging that was generating Rectangle basing on ActualWidth and ActualHeight of my control
Maybe GridSplitter:

Can be used to split views horizontally/vertically, and can be responsive.

Animation for SizeToContent resizing

In WPF window, I have specified SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight".
I have a number of panels stacked up, of which I change the visibility (to Visible or Collapsed) as required. My window resizes itself according to the panel that I have set visible. No issues here.
My problem is with the resizing, that the window resizes with a jerk to the final size.
I want to animate this such that the resizing is smooth. And i want to do this in my XAML file.
Is there any solution for this???
P.S. - I have not set any Width or Height property in the window and I want to restrict myself from doing that.

How do i create xaml (silverlight) animation like attacted image?

I want to create animation like this image, i'm wondering how do i get start for this ? in silverlight xaml
this bar will increased or decreased in animation
thanks for any help
I would create image overlay to create grid effect and would draw solid rectangles under the image. Animate rectangles using standard XAML animations.
Or even better: animate black overlay rectangles covering top of bars.

How can you use an ImageBrush to display a specified area of an image as the background of a rectangle?

I'm trying to add a zoom feature for an image viewer control I'm creating. When viewing the image, holding down the left mouse button brings up a rounded rectangle that is zoomed into the image. I figure I can use An ImageBrush as the background but I can't figure out how to make it just display a specified area of the image. Can this even be done?
By using the Viewbox.

Constrain animation within Grid

I have a project that is WPF4 (with vb.net behind). I have a window that is full screen, and in the center of it is a grid that is constrained to 640x480 in size. I have five images animated, and the animation should take them off the grid and out of sight. However, the animation shows the image when off the grid (over the window itself.) How do I contrain my animations to stay ONLY inside of the grid?
Grid.ClipToBounds = true;
That should clip the contents within the Grid as it moves past the bounds of the Grid.
