WPF progressbar

Overview

The WPF ProgressBar control indicates the progress of a task with customizable visuals. It includes features to visualize progress in rectangular and circular shapes, determinate and indeterminate states, segments, and customized ranges in different colors.

Types

Visualizes progress of a task in different shapes (rectangle and circle) to give a unique appearance to your design.

States

Visualizes the progress in different modes.

States in WPF ProgressBar

WPF linear progressbar and circular progressbar depicts the determinate mode to visualize progression

Determinate

Use the determinate mode progress bar when progress can be estimated.

WPF linear progressbar and circular progressbar depicts the indeterminate mode to visualize the progress estimating process

Indeterminate

Use the indeterminate mode progress bar when progress cannot be estimated or calculated.

WPF linear progressbar visualizes secondary progress to depict buffering

Buffer

Uses a secondary progress indicator when the primary task depends on the secondary task. This will allow users to visualize both primary and secondary tasks’ progress simultaneously.

Segments

Avoid writing several lines of code to create and position multiple progress bars: just divide a progress bar into multiple segments using a single API to visualize the progress of multiple sequential tasks. WPF ProgressBar Segments documentation

Angle

Customize the start and sweep angles of a WPF circular progressbar to give a unique style to the control.

Custom content

Add any view to the center of a WPF circular progress bar to: Indicate the completion of a task; and start, pause, or cancel buttons to control the progress interactively; add an image that indicates the actual task in progress; and add custom text that conveys the progress of a task.
