BusyIndicator

BusyIndicator for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)

Prerequisites:

• .Net Framework 4.8+

• .Net Core6+

How to use:

1. Install the package via NuGet:

Install-Package BusyIndicators

Note NuGet address has changed.

2. Add the following resource to App.xaml:

<Application.Resources> <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/BusyIndicator;component/Theme/Default.xaml"/> </Application.Resources>

3. Add a reference to the library:

xmlns:busyIndicator="https://github.com/moh3ngolshani/BusyIndicator"

4. Create a BusyMask on top of your 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>

5. Bind or Set the IsBusy property.

How to change indicator sizes:

You can now customize the indicator sizes:

• Add a reference to the mscorlib assembly:

xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

• Override the IndicatorScaleX & IndicatorScaleY properties:

<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 properties:

<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 may not affect all indicators.
