I already know the most likely answer to this question, but I'll go ahead and ask it anyway. I've had some instances where I wanted to show the user a progress bar, but not necessarily for the purpose of displaying a certain degree of progress, but as an animation of sorts to let the user know that work it being done and the application is in fact not sitting there doing nothing. I've seen this with some Microsoft progress bars during an install where a green kind of green "glow bar" moves from one side to the other. It's not displaying any progress percentage or even a percentage complete. It's just one of those little ways of distracting the user and giving them a sense that they aren't sitting there for nothing.
Is there any way to accomplish this with the WinProgressBar?
Hi Steve,
What you are describing is commonly referred to as a marquee. We've had quite a few requests to add a marquee control or to add marquee functionality to UltraStatusBar, but we don't have it, yet.
I recommend that you Submit a feature request to Infragistics. The more requests we get, the higher priority this will get.
In the mean time, you might be able to achieve what you want using the AnimationControl.
I was thinking an animation would work, but it would be nice to have as part of the progress bar. I'll submit that request. Thanks.
