SimpleButton.AsyncDisplayMode Property

Gets or sets how the button indicates the progress of an asynchronous operation.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Core

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Core

Declaration

C#

public AsyncDisplayMode AsyncDisplayMode { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property AsyncDisplayMode As AsyncDisplayMode

Property Value

Type	Description
AsyncDisplayMode	Specifies how the button indicates the progress of an asynchronous operation.

Available values:

Name	Description
None	Asynchronous operations are executed without a visual indication.
Wait	The button displays the wait indicator during the asynchronous operation.
WaitCancel	The button displays the wait indicator and changes it to the cancel button when a user hovers the mouse pointer over the wait indicator. If a user presses the cancel button, the associated asynchronous command’s IsCancellationRequested property is changed to true.

Remarks

The SimpleButton control can indicate whether an asynchronous operation is in progress. To enable this behavior, set the SimpleButton.AsyncDisplayMode property to Wait or WaitCancel:

XAML

<dx:SimpleButton Content="Async Button" 
                 AsyncDisplayMode="WaitCancel" 
                 Command="{Binding AsyncCommand}"/>

C#

using DevExpress.Mvvm;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
// ...

public class ViewModel : ViewModelBase {
    public IAsyncCommand AsyncCommand { get; }

    public ViewModel() {
        AsyncCommand = new AsyncCommand(AsyncMethod);
    }

    async Task AsyncMethod() {
        while(!AsyncCommand.IsCancellationRequested) {
            await Task.Delay(100);
        }
    }
}
