Sleek Loading
The Telerik Windows Forms WaitingBar control is designed to let the user know that a long-running operation is underway. Unlike RadProgressBar, the Telerik Windows Forms WaitingBar control does not display an indication of completed percentage. Instead, it continuously animates a block across a progress area as long as the operation continues.
-
Styles
The control supports 10 predefined styles out of the box. Each style has a variety of customization options, such as the waiting animation, animation step, speed, colors and so on. The styles include:
- Indeterminate style, which is similar to the indeterminate mode of the standard Microsoft ProgressBar control. In this style RadWaitingBar smoothly animates all indicators longwise.
- Throbber mode, which moves only one of the control’s indicators in two directions, left and right when the RadWaitingBar is horizontal, and bottom and top when the control is vertical.
- Dash style, where RadWaitingBar moves smoothly in a striped pattern instead of indicators.
- DotsLine is a line of moving dots.
- DotsSpinner is a ring or moving dots.
- LineRing is a ring composed of lines.
- SegmentedRing is a ring composed of segments.
- DotsRing is a ring composed of dots.
- FadingRing is a fading rotating ring.
- RotatingRings are two rotating rings.
-
Highly Customizable
RadWaitingBar enables you to customize its orientation, waiting direction, waiting speed and text position, as well as the indicator’s number, appearance and behavior. -
Associate with Control
RadWaitingBar can be associated with any control. Once the waiting bar is associated with a control, and its StartWaiting method is called, the associated control will be covered with a semi-transparent window. In the middle of the window, the waiting bar control will appear and start indicating a waiting process.
