ProgressBarAnimationBehavior

The ProgressBar Animation Behavior animates a ProgressBar from its current Progress value to a provided value over time. The method accepts a Double progress value, a uint duration in milliseconds and an Easing enum value.

Important

The .NET MAUI Community Toolkit Behaviors do not set the BindingContext of a behavior, because behaviors can be shared and applied to multiple controls through styles. For more information refer to .NET MAUI Behaviors

Syntax

XAML

Including the XAML namespace

In order to use the toolkit in XAML the following xmlns needs to be added into your page or view:

xmlns:toolkit="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2022/maui/toolkit"

Therefore the following:

<ContentPage
    x:Class="CommunityToolkit.Maui.Sample.Pages.MyPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml">

</ContentPage>

Would be modified to include the xmlns as follows:

<ContentPage
    x:Class="CommunityToolkit.Maui.Sample.Pages.MyPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    xmlns:toolkit="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2022/maui/toolkit">

</ContentPage>

Using the ProgressBarAnimationBehavior

The ProgressBarAnimationBehavior can be used as follows in XAML:

<ContentPage 
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    xmlns:toolkit="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2022/maui/toolkit"
    x:Class="MyLittleApp.MainPage"
    x:Name="Page">
     
        <Label Text="The ProgressBarAnimationBehavior is a behavior that animates a ProgressBar" />

        <ProgressBar>
            <ProgressBar.Behaviors>
                <toolkit:ProgressBarAnimationBehavior
                    x:Name="ProgressBarAnimationBehavior"
                    Progress="{Binding Source={x:Reference Page}, Path=BindingContext.Progress}"
                    Length="250"/>
            </ProgressBar.Behaviors>
        </ProgressBar>
</ContentPage>

C#

The ProgressBarAnimationBehavior can be used as follows in C#:

class ProgressBarAnimationBehaviorPage : ContentPage
{
    public ProgressBarAnimationBehaviorPage()
    {
        var progressBar = new ProgressBar();

        var behavior = new ProgressBarAnimationBehavior()
        {
            Progress = 0.75,
            Length = 250
        };

        progressBar.Behaviors.Add(behavior);

        Content = progressBar;
    }
}

C# Markup

Our CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup package provides a much more concise way to use this Behavior in C#.

using CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup;

class ProgressBarAnimationBehaviorPage : ContentPage
{
    public ProgressBarAnimationBehaviorPage()
    {
        Content = new ProgressBar()
        .Behaviors(new ProgressBarAnimationBehavior
        {
            Progress = 0.75,
            Length = 250
        });           
    }
}

Properties

Property	Type	Description
Progress	Double	New Progress value to animate to as a percentage with 1 being 100% so 0.75 is 75%
Length	uint	Duration in milliseconds
Easing	enum	enum that controls the Easing, allows you to specify a transfer function that controls how animations speed up or slow down. You can find more details on Easing here

Examples

You can find an example of this behavior in action in the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit Sample Application.
