Busy Mode

UXBusyIndicator displays busy visual hint when IsBusy property is set to true. You can easily add a custom content to the busy indicator according to your need. Additionally, several layout related properties are available, such as determining the content placement, margin, and more.

Block Content When Busy

The main objective of UXBusyIndicator is to block the content from user interactions when the control is in busy state. It displays a customizable, semi-transparent overlay with gradient background on top of the content.

Hide Content

In data sensitive applications, it is important to keep information secure. UXBusyIndicator embraces this feature by hiding the content instead of blocking it with a semi-transparent overlay.

Busy Latency

In many cases, data processing or application tasks may complete faster than expected. The performance varies on a number of factors such as hardware configuration, network speed, and more. In a good sense of user experience, you may want to display the busy indicator only after a certain timespan has elapsed, for instance, after two seconds. This approach also reduces screen flickering which may occur when the busy indicator is displayed and then hidden in short time span.

Supports Routed Events

UXBusyIndicator provides IsBusyChanged event which occurs when the IsBusy property changes. The IsBusyChanged is a routed event with bubbling strategy, which means that you can flexibly handling the event anywhere in the tree node.

Customizable Busy Indicator Template

UXBusyIndicator includes a predefined busy indicator that shows a modern indeterminate spinner design. While this design suits to just any application types, you may often run into a scenario where you need to use other type of busy indicators, such as a progress bar. You can completely replace the default indicator with your custom design by providing a custom data template.

Customizable Appearance

UXBusyIndicator provides dozens of styling properties for easy appearance customization, such as background, corner radius, border, and more. Template editing is supported for more advanced customization.

Customize Ellipsis Position

EllipsisText is a label control with automatic text trimming mechanism. When the text exceeds the control dimension, it will trim the text and automatically add an ellipsis indicator to the text. You can customize its positioning, whether it is before, after, or in between the strings.

Customize Tooltip Appearance

When strings are trimmed using EllipsisText, a tooltip will appear as you hover on the element which displays the actual text. In addition to the default tooltip style, you can also use the standard Silverlight tooltip by changing the TooltipUIMode property to basic.

There is no restriction in this mode and you can assign any sources to the control. In Pre-download mode, video will be downloaded before playing it. A progress bar is shown to indicate the download progress. As it completes, the video will be played automatically. In this mode, you need to set the security access of the designated source as it uses WebClient class from Silverlight core runtime.
