Using in XAML layouts

[N Mackay]

HI,

Looking at the XAML samples it would suggest any content below the BusyIndicator has to be within the RadBusyIndicator.Content container? is that the only way it works?

I would have thought it would work like the standard one and you could just place it using an AbsoluteLayout over the Listview etc.

Could someone clarify as it would involve reworking a lot of layouts if that's that case and I'd probably just stick with the vanilla one.

Thanks.

Hello Norman,

You could use the busy indicator just as the default one. You do not have to set its Content property. There is one limitation, if you place it in a Grid it will not stretch the animation to the grid size. If you want to make it larger you have to use AnimationContentWidthRequest and AnimationContentHeightRequest properties.

That's fine.

I never liked the way it stretched anyway, it doesn't look good.

Thanks for the response, I'll try it when the patch below is out as we'd want to set it in a style as well.

The busy indicator is good, 10 minute job to get all the pages switched over and added an busy indicator style. Really makes a difference in iOS where the vanilla one was so hard to see.
