在WPF中等待动画的替代方法是:

 <ProgressBar Height="20" Width="100" IsIndeterminate="True"/>

它将显示一个动画进度条。

我使用这个库:https://github.com/XamlAnimatedGif/WpfAnimatedGif

首先，将库安装到项目中(使用包管理器控制台):

    PM > Install-Package WpfAnimatedGif

然后，使用这个片段到XAML文件:

    <Window x:Class="WpfAnimatedGif.Demo.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:gif="http://wpfanimatedgif.codeplex.com"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
        <Grid>
            <Image gif:ImageBehavior.AnimatedSource="Images/animated.gif" />
        ...

希望能有所帮助。

用法:

<localComponents:GifImage x:Name="gifImage" IsAutoStart="True" GifSource="{Binding Path=value}" />

因为它不会导致内存泄漏，它动画gif图像自己的时间线，你可以尝试一下。

我也搜索了一下，在旧MSDN论坛的一个帖子里找到了几个不同的解决方案。(链接不再工作，所以我删除了它)

最简单的执行似乎是使用WinForms PictureBox控件，并像这样(从线程中更改了一些东西，大部分是相同的)。

添加对System.Windows的引用。窗体，WindowsFormsIntegration和系统。首先绘制你的项目。

<Window x:Class="GifExample.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:wfi="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms.Integration;assembly=WindowsFormsIntegration"
    xmlns:winForms="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms;assembly=System.Windows.Forms"
    Loaded="Window_Loaded" >
    <Grid>
        <wfi:WindowsFormsHost>
            <winForms:PictureBox x:Name="pictureBoxLoading">
            </winForms:PictureBox>
        </wfi:WindowsFormsHost>
    </Grid>
</Window >

然后在Window_Loaded处理程序中，你会设置pictureBoxLoading。将ImageLocation属性设置为要显示的图像文件路径。

private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    pictureBoxLoading.ImageLocation = "../Images/mygif.gif";
}

在那个线程中提到了MediaElement控件，但也提到了它是一个相当笨重的控件，因此有许多替代方案，包括至少两个基于Image控件的自制控件，因此这是最简单的。

GifImage.Initialize()方法的小改进，该方法从GIF元数据中读取适当的帧定时。

    private void Initialize()
    {
        _gifDecoder = new GifBitmapDecoder(new Uri("pack://application:,,," + this.GifSource), BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default);

        int duration=0;
        _animation = new Int32AnimationUsingKeyFrames();
        _animation.KeyFrames.Add(new DiscreteInt32KeyFrame(0, KeyTime.FromTimeSpan(new TimeSpan(0))));
        foreach (BitmapFrame frame in _gifDecoder.Frames)
        {
            BitmapMetadata btmd = (BitmapMetadata)frame.Metadata;
            duration += (ushort)btmd.GetQuery("/grctlext/Delay");
            _animation.KeyFrames.Add(new DiscreteInt32KeyFrame(_gifDecoder.Frames.IndexOf(frame)+1, KeyTime.FromTimeSpan(new TimeSpan(duration*100000))));
        }            
         _animation.RepeatBehavior = RepeatBehavior.Forever;
        this.Source = _gifDecoder.Frames[0];            
        _isInitialized = true;
    }

谢谢你的帖子Joel，它帮助我解决了WPF对动画gif的不支持。只是添加了一点代码，因为我有一个设置pictureBoxLoading的时间。Image属性，因为Winforms api。

我必须将我的动画gif图像的构建动作设置为“Content”，并将复制到输出目录设置为“如果更新则复制”或“always”。然后在MainWindow()中调用这个方法。唯一的问题是，当我试图处理流时，它给了我一个红包图形而不是我的图像。我必须解决这个问题。这消除了加载BitmapImage并将其更改为Bitmap的痛苦(这显然杀死了我的动画，因为它不再是gif)。

private void SetupProgressIcon()
{
   Uri uri = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/WPFTest;component/Images/animated_progress_apple.gif");
   if (uri != null)
   {
      Stream stream = Application.GetContentStream(uri).Stream;   
      imgProgressBox.Image = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(stream);
   }
}
