Sliding Child WIndow not working in wpf

I used translatetransform to slide my child window but I think there's something wrong with my xaml code. It's not the window is sliding but inside the window is sliding (or the grid).

This is my Child Window XAML:

<Window x:Class="SAMPLE.ChildWindow"
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
  WindowStartupLocation="CenterOwner"
  x:Name="HomeWindows"
  Title="HomeWindow" Height="348" Width="440" Loaded="HomeWindows_Loaded">
  <Window.RenderTransform>
    <TranslateTransform />
  </Window.RenderTransform>
  <Window.Resources>
    <Storyboard x:Key="SlaydAndFeyd" >
        <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="HomeWindows"  Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Window.RenderTransform).(TranslateTransform.X)" From="50" To="0" Duration="0:0:0.4" />
    </Storyboard>
  </Window.Resources>

and then for my function, calling the storyboard:

    public void SlaydAndFeyds()
    {
        (FindResource("SlaydAndFeyd") as Storyboard).Begin(this);
    }

and now in the Main Window code:

namespace SAMPLE
{
  public partial class MainWindow : Window
  {

    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private ChildWindow NewChildWindow = new ChildWindow();

    private void btnShowChild_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        NewHomeWindow.Owner = this;
        NewHomeWindow.Show();
    }

    private void btnSlideChild_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
       NewHomeWindow.SlaydAndFeyds();
    }

or anyone have an idea how can I slide my child window?

The RenderTransform in that example will affect the contents of the window, not the window itself.

To move the window, adjust the Left/Top attributes using an EventTrigger. I'm taking a guess that you want to slide it left by 50 pix or so over 4 seconds, adjust the figures to suit:

<Window.Triggers> 
    <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Window.Loaded"> 
        <BeginStoryboard> 
            <Storyboard> 
                <DoubleAnimation BeginTime="00:00:00"    
                                Storyboard.TargetName="HomeWindows"    
                                Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Window.Left)"    
                                By="-12"    
                                Duration="0:0:4" /> 
            </Storyboard> 
        </BeginStoryboard> 
    </EventTrigger> 
</Window.Triggers>
