Display dot-dot-dot progress in a WPF button

问题

I found quite a few examples for showing progress where the progress bars and wheels are used however; I could find only one javascript example to show an ellipsis (dot-dot-dot) to refer progress hence I thought of asking this question. My app is not very complex - it only has a few check-boxes and one button. Recently my team requested for an enhancement and want to keep it simple as well.

There is a button named 'GO' that the user clicks after configuring the required settings. The code behind it is also really straightforward - it disables the button after the click event and call's a standalone exe using ProcessStartInfo that performs three actions 'reconcle', 'post' and 'publish'. I use the WaitForExist() method to re-enable the button.

I was requested by my team to show the 'current process' on the button. They simply want the button text to show Reconciling. Reconciling.. Reconciling... (at regular intervals say, 1 sec) followed by Posting and Publishing in a similar fashion.

It would be nice to know the most appropriate way to achieve this. Thanks in advance.

The simplest way of doing that is using an ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames. Set the TargetProperty on the Content and set the Value of each DiscreteObjectKeyFrame to Reconciling. Reconciling.. Reconciling....

Example for a ControlTemplate with a ContentPresenter named PART_Content:

<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
    <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
        <Trigger.EnterActions>
            <BeginStoryboard>
                <Storyboard>
                    <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="PART_Content" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Content" Duration="00:00:00.8" RepeatBehavior="Forever">
                        <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.0" Value="Loading"/>
                        <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.2" Value="Loading."/>
                        <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.4" Value="Loading.."/>
                        <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.6" Value="Loading..."/>
                    </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
                </Storyboard>
            </BeginStoryboard>
        </Trigger.EnterActions>
    </Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
