WPF ProgressBar in VB.NET
In this article you will learn how to create ProgressBar in WPF.
ProgressBar: WPF progress bars are conceptually the same as Windows progress bars; however, a very noticeable difference is that using standard coding techniques, the WPF Progress Bars do not update correctly while the application is processing to implementing a progress bar display for long-running tasks is a commonly occurring task. WPF has a simple ProgressBar control which works as you would expect.
One neat trick that you can perform with the ProgressBar is using it to show a longrunning status indicator, even if you don't know how long the task will take. Interestingly (and oddly), you do this by setting the IsIndeterminate property to true:
<ProgressBar Height="18" Width="200" IsIndeterminate="True"></ProgressBar>
The WPF ProgressBar
has a "SetValue
" method that can be used to update the progress of the ProgressBar
. However, this method will not cause the ProgresssBar
to refresh when there is a tight coding loop.
Example of an ProgressBar
<Window x:Class="Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<Grid>
<ProgressBar Height="59" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" Name="progressBar1"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="256" Value="30" />
</Grid>
</Window>
