Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property IsIndeterminate As Boolean

public bool IsIndeterminate { get; set; }

<ProgressBar IsIndeterminate="bool"/>

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the progress bar reports generic progress with a repeating pattern; false if the progress bar reports progress based on the Value property. The default is false.

Remarks

Dependency property identifier field: IsIndeterminateProperty

When this property is true, the progress bar displays a repeating pattern to indicate generic progress. In this case, the Value property is ignored.

Examples

The following example demonstrates a ProgressBar with the IsIndeterminate property set to true.

<Border BorderThickness="5" BorderBrush="Black">
  <StackPanel Background="LightGray">
    <TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Center" 
      Margin="10" Text="Indeterminate Progress Bar" />
    <ProgressBar x:Name="pg2" Margin="10" Height="15"
