Autoplay the Lightbox

The wijlightbox widget supports autoplaying. Simply set the autoPlay option to take advantage of this feature. Complete the following steps:

Create an ASP.NET MVC 5 Wijmo application.
Navigate to the Solution Explorer, expand the Shared folder inside the Views folder, and double-click _Layout to open the file.

Add the following markup within the <body> tags of the page, just after @RenderBody():

<div id="lightbox">
    <a href="http://lorempixum.com/600/400/sports/1" rel="wijlightbox[stock];player=img">
        <img src="http://lorempixum.com/150/125/sports/1" title="Sports 1" alt="Sports 1" /></a>
    <a href="http://lorempixum.com/600/400/sports/2" rel="wijlightbox[stock];player=img">
        <img src="http://lorempixum.com/150/125/sports/2" title="Sports 2" alt="Sports 2" /></a>
    <a href="http://lorempixum.com/600/400/sports/3" rel="wijlightbox[stock];player=img">
        <img src="http://lorempixum.com/150/125/sports/3" title="Sports 3" alt="Sports 3" /></a>
    <a href="http://lorempixum.com/600/400/sports/4" rel="wijlightbox[stock];player=img">
        <img src="http://lorempixum.com/150/125/sports/4" title="Sports 4" alt="Sports 4" /></a>
</div>

This markup will add content for a lightbox widget to the page. In the next step, you'll initialize the lightbox.

After the closing </style> tag you added in the previous step, add the following jQuery script to initialize the wijlightbox widget:
```
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $("#lightbox").wijlightbox({
            showNavButtons: false,
            autoPlay: true
        });
    });
</script>
```
This will initialize the lightbox and autoplay the lightbox at run time.
