Dupe: WPF animated splash screen
I would like to show a splash screen for my WPF application.
what I want to do is to show it while I load dictionary from a file (it takes about 5-6 seconds to load). Is there a way to achieve this in WPF? I would appreciate some tutorial, since this is a little bit more complicated then other questions I posted.
See WPF 3.5 SP1: Splash Screen
Or within VS2010 click on the
Solution ExplorerdoAdd -> New Item, selectWPFfrom the list of installed templates andSplash Screenshould be on the bottom of the list in the middle.Note: The splash screen is removed after the constructor and before/when the main window
Window_Loadedcallback. I moved all of my initialisation into the main window constructor and it works a treat, and is very easy.
