How to style BusyIndicator to be invisible?

[Anders]

Hi telerik,

I have an application with dockable windows. to 'protect' windows that might be undocked during long-running operations, I have applied BusyIndicators to each individual window. The BusyIndicators are linked to a singleton viewmodel and it works perfectly.

As for the visual part of the BusyIndicator, I only want it in the main window.

Can you advice me on how to style the BusyIndicator on child windows to make the progress/busy indicator invisible?

Thanks,

Anders, Denmark

Hello Anders,

Accomplishing what you wish is quite easy. You just need to reduce the control template of RadBusyIndicator to a single ContentControl. Please, consider the following example:

<Window
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
    x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
    x:Name="Window"
    Title="MainWindow"
    Width="640" Height="480">
    <Window.Resources>
        <ControlTemplate x:Key="RadBusyIndicatorTemplate" TargetType="telerik:RadBusyIndicator">
            <ContentControl x:Name="Content" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" HorizontalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
            IsEnabled="False" VerticalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
        </ControlTemplate>
    </Window.Resources>

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
        <telerik:RadBusyIndicator Margin="176,89,148,53" IsBusy="True" Template="{StaticResource RadBusyIndicatorTemplate}">
            <telerik:RadButton Content="Test" Width="200" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
        </telerik:RadBusyIndicator>
    </Grid>
</Window>

I hope this helps.
