T:Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.InfoBar |
winrt class |
An InfoBar is an inline notification for essential app-wide messages. The InfoBar will take up space in a layout and will not cover up other content or float on top of it. It supports rich content (including titles, messages, icons, and buttons) and can be configured to be user-dismissable or persistent.
This documentation applies to WinUI 2 for UWP (for WinUI in the Windows App SDK, see the Windows App SDK namespaces).
Use an InfoBar control when a user should be informed of, acknowledge, or take action on a changed application state. The changed state should impact app perception or experience for the user.
You can modify the default Style and ControlTemplate to give the control a unique appearance. For information about modifying a control's style and template, see XAML styles. XAML also includes resources that you can use to modify the colors of a control in different visual states without modifying the control template. Modifying these resources is preferred to setting properties such as Background and Foreground. For more info, see the Light-weight styling section of the XAML styles article.
The resources for this control are listed in the ThemeDictionaries section of the InfoBar_themeresources.xaml file on GitHub. The ResourceKey value for each StaticResource references a brush and color in the Common_themeresources_any.xaml file.
