[Martin Sato]

Hi,

   I changed SfBusyIndicator background to blue (BackgroundColor="Blue" ) the problem is background color of page is also set to blue. Please see below excerpts...

<ContentPage.Content>

        <Grid>

            <busyindicator:SfBusyIndicator 

                x:Name="act" 

                AnimationType="ECG"

                ViewBoxHeight="150"

                ViewBoxWidth="150"

                BackgroundColor="Blue" 

                TextColor="White"

                IsVisible="False"

                IsBusy="False" />

Thanks.

Hi Martin, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

 

We have analyzed your query and we would like to inform you that ViewBoxHeight and ViewBoxWidth property set the size for SfBusyIndicator drawing path alone, not for entire SfBusyIndicator control. So that the background fills with grid layout.  

 

If you want to set the SfBusyIndicator control size, we need to set the VerticalOptions for the Grid as per the below code snippet. 

 

Sample Link: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/BusyIndicator_1459161552189328 

 

Code Snippet : 

<Grid VerticalOptions="Start">
            <busyindicator:SfBusyIndicator 
                x:Name="act" 
                AnimationType="ECG"
                ViewBoxHeight="150"
                ViewBoxWidth="150"
                BackgroundColor="Blue" 
                TextColor="White"
                IsVisible="true"
                IsBusy="true" />
 </Grid> 

  

Please check the sample and let us know if you have any concern.

Hi Martin, 

 

Thanks for your update.  

 

We have analyzed your attachment and we would like to let you know that when placed SfBusyIndicator in the Grid, it will occupy the whole space. To achieve your requirement, we need to provide the HeightRequest or Grid should be separated as Rows for the control. We have modified the sample from the below link. 

 

Sample Link: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/SampleBusyIndicator-926099305 

 

Code Snippet: 

 <Grid HorizontalOptions="Start" VerticalOptions="Start">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <busyindicator:SfBusyIndicator VerticalOptions="Start" Grid.Row="0"
                x:Name="act" 
                AnimationType="ECG"
                ViewBoxHeight="150"
                ViewBoxWidth="150"
                BackgroundColor="Blue" 
                TextColor="White"
                IsVisible="true"
                IsBusy="true" />
       <StackLayout>
            <!-- Place new controls here -->
            <Label Text="Welcome to Xamarin.Forms!" 
           HorizontalOptions="Center" Grid.Row="1"
           VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" />

       </StackLayout>
    </Grid>
