Hi
Just thought I'd make a suggestion for a new WPF control.
I not sure if there's a name for it already but basically its kind of a spinning progress indicator, to show the user that something is happening but it doesn't actually show progress. Like if you were loading data to the UI.
The best example I can think of is in Firefox when its loading a website. In the tab, there's a small circle of circles and each circle flashes around the main circle, whilst the page is being loaded.
I've already created something similar but it took me ages to get the animation (see attached).
Just being able to drop the control and set a few animation properties would have saved me several days work.
I think it would be popular.
