Loading

The Loading control is for showing an animation with some content when the user should wait in some tasks of the app.

[!div class="nextstepaction"] Try it in the sample app

Syntax

<Page ...
     xmlns:controls="using:Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Controls"/>

<controls:Loading x:Name="LoadingControl" IsLoading="{Binding IsBusy}">
    <!-- Loading screen content -->
</controls:Loading>

Sample Output

Loading animation

Properties

Property Type Description
IsLoading bool Gets or sets a value indicating whether the control is in the loading state

Examples

An example of how we can build the loading control.

  • Background and Opacity are for the panel who appears and disappears behind our custom control.
  • Use the LoadingControl to show specialized content.
  • You can also use BorderBrush and BorderThickness to change the LoadingControl.
<controls:Loading x:Name="LoadingControl" IsLoading="{Binding IsBusy}"  >
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Padding="12">
        <Grid Margin="0,0,8,0">
            <Image Source="../../Assets/ToolkitLogo.png" Height="50" />
            <ProgressRing IsActive="True" Foreground="Blue" />
        </Grid>
        <TextBlock Text="It's ok, we are working on it :)" Foreground="Black" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
    </StackPanel>
</controls:Loading>

Finally that the loading control appears, we must set the IsLoading property to true

LoadingControl.IsLoading = true;
LoadingControl.IsLoading = true
