I have problem with my app. I want to add simple progress bar, in designer looks normal, but when I start app, progress bar is empty inside
my code is simple:
<ProgressBar Name="pbarStatus" Height="55" Value="50" IsIndeterminate="True"/>
When I just setIsIndeterminate=False then there is only green border with white field inside
I cant send pic (no 10 reputation)...
In new project it works fine, so problem is only with my. Can someone help me where I can find problem?
EDIT
my behaviour IsIndeterminate=True Link
my behaviour IsIndeterminate=False Link
EDIT 2
Thanks, but minimum and maximum I left default (0 and 100) in visual studio in designer progress bar looks as it should (also even when I change value in designer mode), but when I press F5 button (debug) and I start app, progress bar looks as on pictures (is empty or just green border instead animation). It looks like I'm lost animation somehow...

The Search Page in Windows Phone 7 (Bing search) is lovely; uses the entire area for a nice piccy. The system bar is transparent but the icons are still there.
I can't seem to reproduce this effect.
If I set an image on the LayoutRoot it only goes up to the bottom of the system tray.
If I hide the system tray, it is always hidden.
If I make the system tray background transparent, I can see the dark/light theme colour (black or white) through it, which looks terrible with the image background in LayoutRoot.
If I try and set the Background of phone:PhoneApplicationPage nothing happens. I tried styling this but couldn't make it work.
I'd be grateful if a Windows Phone 7 guru could help me out here.
Try this:
Set the d:DesignHeight="800" and Background="Transparent" for the <phone:PhoneApplicationPage >
Then for the ApplicationBar,
Set Mode="Minimized" BackgroundColor="Transparent"
Almost similar to the one in Bing Search page, but still a little area at the bottom I couldn't cover.
I want to create a custom splash screen where some text on the page will end up being the progress bar. I need the text to flood fill with color from left to right based on the % loaded. My first thought (since I'm not use to doing this type of UI related stuff) was to have a textblock with the forecolor being trasparent layered over something like a border with its backcolor set and then grow the border control based on the %, but this is such a hack, there has to be something better with all the wonderful things silverlight can do. I had also thought about using a image so I could outline the text, but noticed the image was slow and was the last thing to load on my splash screen.
Any ideas on the right way to acomplish this?
I have a WPF Frame with a web-based HTML source and though the contents are there, they aren't showing up. I know that the content is there because if I right click in just the right spot I can save images. Also, if I do print preview it shows just fine. The stuff is there, but it isn't showing up. Is there a known bug?
I used code from here to create a placeholder control with a window that floats right above it, so I could put the frame in the window. Its a hack but it works... sigh.
Is it possible to show a splash screen in WPF that has animation. I want my name of the company and the name of the application to fly in and a progress bar that continously animates. I Used this example
http://blogs.lessthandot.com/index.php/DesktopDev/MSTech/wpf-and-the-splashscreen
to try and get me started but the progress bar doesnt animate?
Also I do have on the progress bar the following property set. IsIndeterminate="True"
I am using vb.net.
Thanks,

See my answer at the bottom of this question: Multi-threaded splash screen in C#?
This is in C#, but it does work with an animated indeterminate progress bar.
In WinForms you could set a progress bar to loop endlessly to indicate that you don't know how long it will take. How would I do that in WPF?
<ProgressBar IsIndeterminate="True" />
I personally like the approach Visual Studio 2010 takes. They use an animation of a small, looping series of dots (with varying intensity). They just animate the dots circling in the center of the window in question.
In WPF, this is trivial - just animate a rotation of a small drawing of a circle of dots with the opacity set correctly up front.
I find it very intuitive, small, and unintrusive.
Is a progress bar the right widget for this? You are unable to indicate a % complete, since you "don't know how long it will take". Maybe an animation of some sort (like the Windows files-disappearing-into-thin-air-while-deleting effect) to show that activity is still going on would be better. But a "progress" bar that simply resets to zero because there is still more work to do just looks dumb to me.
