In this article i will show you, how to use progress bar in wpf (Window Presentation Foundation) and how to add it in status bar dynamically. Actually i explained it with basic information, today i will explain more about it. In this article, first to add a status bar in the page after that add a TextBlock control in it. Now the code look like :

<Grid>

        <StatusBar Name="sbar1" Background="BlueViolet" VerticalAlignment="Bottom">

            <StatusBarItem>

                <TextBlock>Status:</TextBlock>

            </StatusBarItem>

        </StatusBar>

    </Grid>

Now, create a new function just after the InitializeComponent() method, it means you can view your progress bar on window load.  

Code behind code

using System;

using System.Windows;

using System.Windows.Controls;

using System.Windows.Media.Animation;

namespace WpfApplication2

{

    /// <summary>

    /// Interaction logic for progressbar.xaml

    /// </summary>

    public partial class progressbar : Window

    {

        public progressbar()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

            

            createprogressbar();

        }

        private void createprogressbar()

        {

            ProgressBar pb2 = new ProgressBar();

            pb2.IsIndeterminate = false;

            pb2.Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal;

            pb2.Width = 100;

            pb2.Height = 25;

           

            Duration dur = new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));

            DoubleAnimation dblani = new DoubleAnimation(200.0, dur);

            pb2.BeginAnimation(ProgressBar.ValueProperty, dblani);

            sbar1.Items.Add(pb2);

        }

  

    }

}

Now, code generate the following output:

Here,

1. Create a ProgressBar class object also set some data members like width, height etc.
2. Set the animation by BeginAnimation method( )
