The following screenshot captures the started and stopped animation with the displayed text “ Please wait while processing… ” and “stopped”.
Animation started.
Animation stopped.
The WinActivityIndicator control exposes two properties, Text and AnimationEnabledText. The Text property displays the text when animation is not in progress while the AnimationEnabledText property displays the text when animation is in progress.
The following scenarios cover the text resolution process:
When AnimationEnabled = True
The control displays the AnimationEnabledText property’s value, if it is not null or empty.
The control displays the Text property’s value if the AnimationEnabledText property is null or empty.
When AnimationEnabled = False
The control displays the Text property’s value.
You can set the properties in code or via the Visual Studio design view.
In C#:
ultraActivityIndicator1.Text = "Stopped";
ultraActivityIndicator1.AnimationEnabledText = "Please wait while processing...";In Visual Basic:
ultraActivityIndicator1.Text = "Stopped"
ultraActivityIndicator1.AnimationEnabledText = "Please wait while processing..."The following topic provides additional information related to this topic.
