PART_Track | FrameworkElement | The object that defines the path of the progress indicator. |
PART_GlowRect | FrameworkElement | An object that embellishes the progress bar. |
ProgressBar States
The following table lists the visual states for the ProgressBar control.
VisualState Name | VisualStateGroup Name | Description |
---|---|---|
Determinate | CommonStates | ProgressBar reports progress based on the Value property. |
Indeterminate | CommonStates | ProgressBar reports generic progress with a repeating pattern. |
Valid | ValidationStates | The control uses the Validation class and the Validation.HasError attached property is false . |
InvalidFocused | ValidationStates | The Validation.HasError attached property is true has the control has focus. |
InvalidUnfocused | ValidationStates | The Validation.HasError attached property is true has the control does not have focus. |
ProgressBar ControlTemplate Example
