how to show green progress according to my Download Progress Percentage in windows phone 8

Question

All i am working on windows phone 8. I want to show green Progress-bar according to my download percentage into my ListBox which is filling with objects dynamically. I don't want to show moving dots which is the inbuilt Progress-bar of the windows phone 8. So is there any control or approach for perform this OR can we have/create user-Control like green moving Progress-bar according to my download percentage in this scenario ?

Most welcome suggesions and solutions. Thank you in Advance.

Answer 1

We can show the green progress bar in windows phone 8, i have successfully done.

i made the IsDeterminate Proterty as false and bind the progresschanged event values to the Value property of my progressBar. its working superb.

<ProgressBar x:Name="myProgressBar" IsIndeterminate="True" VerticalAlignment="Center" Visibility="Visible" Width="900" TextOptions.TextHintingMode="Animated" CharacterSpacing="2"/>

It is working as i wanted. simple, easy and superb control....

The moving dots animation is the de-facto way of indicating a process that will take an unknown amount of time. The ProgressBar can easily be used to show a specific step value and be of any colour you want.
e.g.

<ProgressBar Foreground="Green"
             Minimum="0"
             Value="50"
             Maximum="100"
             IsIndeterminate="False" />

Of course you'd probably bind the Value or set it from code behind.
