Problems with updating the BusyIndicator

[AndyM]

I want to run the BusyIndicator after a ButtonClick.

Afterwards, the data are readed and the BusyIndicator is to be switched off after the complete reading.

In the meantime, no user action may be allowed.

But the BusyIndicator is not displayed. I try it with and without Dispatcher.

With async/await user Actions are allowed in the meantime what i not want

        private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {

                this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action)(() =>
                {
                    this.BusyIndicator.IsBusy = true;
                }));

                List<Result> result = HCHelper.Read();

                this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action)(() =>
                {
                    this.BusyIndicator.IsBusy = false;
                }));

}

Can you help me...

Hi Andreas Mazatis,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

We have prepared the sample which tries to meet your requirement. In this sample we have used button click event in this event we have set “IsBusy” property to true and then we have used time tick event where we have set the “IsBusy” property to false after getting the data . Please download the sample from the following location.

Unfortunately it does not work as I wanted:

-The BusyIndicator runs for 3 seconds and then freezes

-After the function call (Reading and parsing 2000 files from filesystem into a structure) - the BusyIndicator hides,

Hi Andreas, 

Query 1: The BusyIndicator runs for 3 seconds and then freezes 

From your update, we come to know that you want to display the busy indicator for long time. To display the busy indicator for long time, you can set it using the following code. 

Code Snippet [C#] 

//To display the BusyIndicator for Long time

 

timer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0,0,0,0,3500); 

 

  

Query 2:  After the function call (Reading and parsing 2000 files from filesystem into a structure) - the BusyIndicator hides, 

After we have added the items in the listbox , we have hide the BusyIndicator by setting the property IsBusy to false. 

Code Snippet [C#] 

//To hide the BusyIndicator 

 busycontrol.IsBusy = false; 

  

Please find the sample and video.
