BusyIndicator

BusyIndicator for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)

Demo

Indicator Types

Prerequisites:

  • .Net Framework 4.6+
  • .Net Core6+

How to use:

  1. Install the package via NuGet:
Install-Package BusyIndicators

Note NuGet address is changed!


  1. Add resource call to App.xaml:
<Application.Resources>
     <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/BusyIndicator;component/Theme/Default.xaml"/>
</Application.Resources>
  1. Add a reference to the library:
xmlns:busyIndicator="https://github.com/moh3ngolshani/BusyIndicator"
  1. Create a BusyMask on top of main view:
<busyIndicator:BusyMask x:Name="BusyIndicator" 
                        IsBusy="False" 
                        IndicatorType="Dashes" 
                        BusyContent="Please wait..." 
                        BusyContentMargin="0,20,0,0" 
                        IsBusyAtStartup="False" >
         
         
          <... MAIN VIEW GOES HERE... >
         
         
</busyIndicator:BusyMask>
  1. Bind or Set IsBusy property.

How to change indicator sizes:

Indicator sizes can be changed now:

  • Add a reference to the mscorlib assembly:
xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
  • Override the IndicatorScaleX & IndicatorScaleY:
<Window.Resources>
    <sys:Double x:Key="IndicatorScaleX" >2</sys:Double>
    <sys:Double x:Key="IndicatorScaleY" >2</sys:Double>
</Window.Resources>

How to change indicator colors:

Override the IndicatorForeground & IndicatorBackground:

<Window.Resources>
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="IndicatorForeground" Color="Orange" />
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="IndicatorBackground" Color="WhiteSmoke" />
</Window.Resources>

You can also use gradients:

<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="IndicatorForeground" StartPoint="0.5,0" EndPoint="0.5,1">
    <GradientStop Offset="1" Color="#eaafc8" />
    <GradientStop Offset="0" Color="#654ea3" />
</LinearGradientBrush>

Hint:

Not all indicators have background, so changing the IndicatorBackground might not affect all indicators.
