I have a process which I break into multiple processes and even when using threading it takes a very long time to complete.

I’d like to give the user an indication of the status of the execution in a cute way (for each process % complete). Maybe betting on the right horse will ease the pain 🙂

I found this project long ago: A Guided Tour of WPF (XAML)

I have two questions:

  1. This article was written in 2007. Is there better way to achieve this graphic effect?
  2. I have not understood yet, how the application is started, so I’d like to know if I can integrate such “window” in my window application?

Adam Robinson pointed out that the second question is not clear:
The application generates a window as in the picture below – I like to know if it possible to insert it in my “normal” windows application.

    WPF is the current “best” (or at least most feature-rich) way to develop a Windows Application for the desktop.

    • I have not understood yet, how the application is started, so I’d like to know if I can
      integrate such “window” in my window application?

    Make your application a WPF Application. This will automatically give you an application, Window class, and everything else you need to get started. Making a WPF application is just like any other application, except that you need to start the message pump, create the application, setup your startup window, etc. The “WPF Application” template in Visual Studio does all of that for you…

    Until you understand what all is happening, I’d recommend starting with that, and customizing from there.
