I’m looking to make a WPF application that uses an illuminated bar as a “progress bar.” Not in the traditional sense such as a program loading, but to display to the user how far he has progressed in a certain objective/task. Below is an example of the bar I am trying to describe.
I would like to make a path using multiple bars connected to each other but have no idea how to go about putting them in the program. Thanks for your answers in advance!
As @O.R.Mapper correctly pointed out, the ProgressBar control is the correct way to go, using a control template to make it look however you’d like.
Regarding your second question: if you want the value of one ProgressBar to be dependent on a value of another ProgressBar, you should modify the Maximum property to correctly show the intended value.
For example, if you have one Main progress bar, which should reach 100% only after 2 other tasks have been completed – give it a
Maximumvalue of 200,then set its value by using a calculation such as:
MainProgressBar.Value = firstTaskValue + secondTaskValue.It will only reach 100% after the 2 tasks have been completed…
You can play with this however you want, for instance if one task is more important then another:
MainProgressBar.Value = firstTaskValue + 2 * secondTaskValue.Anyways, this is logic you’ll have to implement by yourself…
