Vista - Canvas.SetTop() doesn't work after use of a Storyboard

I'm having problems using Canvas.SetTop() after I've animated a
storyboard. Here's what happens:

On the MouseMove event I'm relocating a Rectangle... In response to
another event I want to animate the rectangle using a storyboard, then
restore the functionality of the mousemove event. The MouseMove event
is working fine at setting the location of the rectangle, but after
using a storyboard to animate the rectangle, the Canvas.SetTop() method
has no effect on the location of the rectangle. Even when the
storyboard animation is complete. It's like after using a storyboard, I
cannot use Canvas.SetTop() to relocate the rectangle.

Any clue how to make Canvas.SetTop() work again after using a
storyboard?

Thanks,

Are you animating the Canvas.Top property?

Thank you, Doug. That article answered the question. I needed to set
the FillBehavior property to "Stop" so it wouldn't hold the last frame.
