Following are some of the main features of ProgressBar that you may find useful:
Flexible Range and Value Configuration
Users can set a proper range to indicate the highest and lowest possible values of the ProgressBar. Users can also set a current value for the ProgressBar control to indicate how much amount of a task has been completed.
Indeterminate Mode Support
ProgressBar provides the InDeterminate mode to display an animation indicating an indeterminate amount of waiting time. To know more about the indeterminate, refer this topic.
High Performance
The ProgressBar does not block the UI thread from running, so you can show a progress indicator while the background UI is performing some operation.
Wide Scope of Styling
ProgressBar allows you to style the appearance of the control by adding a linear gradient brush, corner radius and indeterminate foreground properties. To know more about appearance and styling, refer this topic.
