Enabling indeterminate state

When the progress of a task cannot be shown determinately, you can enable the indeterminate state using the IsIndeterminate property to know if any progress is happening in the background.

<progressBar:SfLinearProgressBar IsIndeterminate="True"/>
SfLinearProgressBar linearProgressBar = new SfLinearProgressBar { IsIndeterminate = true };
this.Content = linearProgressBar;

Enable segments

To visualize the progress of a multiple sequential task, split the linear progress bar into the multiple segments by defining the SegmentCount property as demonstrated in the following code sample.

<progressBar:SfLinearProgressBar SegmentCount="4" Progress="75"/>
SfLinearProgressBar linearProgressBar = new SfLinearProgressBar { Progress = 75, SegmentCount = 4 };
this.Content = linearProgressBar;

Apply colors

Customize the color of the progress indicator and track by defining the ProgressFill and TrackFill properties, respectively.

<progressBar:SfLinearProgressBar Progress="75" 
                                 TrackFill="#33ffbe06" 
                                 ProgressFill="#FFffbe06"/>

<progressBar:SfLinearProgressBar Progress="75"  
                                 TrackFill="#3351483a" 
                                 ProgressFill="#FF51483a"/>
SfLinearProgressBar linearProgressBar = new SfLinearProgressBar
{
    Progress = 75, 
    TrackFill = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb("#33ffbe06")), 
    ProgressFill = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb("#FFffbe06"))
};

SfLinearProgressBar sfLinearProgressBar = new SfLinearProgressBar
{
    Progress = 75, 
    TrackFill = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb("#3351483a")), 
    ProgressFill = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb("#FF51483a"))
