Question

How can I display some sort of a busy indicator in my WPF application? I have a control that takes a while to load and I want the user to be informed that the data is being loaded to the control. Maybe some sort of sandglasses or a spinning circle will do?

Answer 1

I would suggest using pretty nice WPF ToolKit BusyIndicator

Below is usage example:

<extToolkit:BusyIndicator IsBusy="True" BusyContent="Downloading email..." >
            <ContentControl Style="{StaticResource SampleContent}"/>
</extToolkit:BusyIndicator>
