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。

我不确定这个问题是否已经解决，但最好的方法是使用WpfAnimatedGid库。这是非常容易，简单和直接的使用。它只需要2行XAML代码和后面的5行c#代码。

您将看到关于如何在那里使用它的所有必要细节。这也是我用来代替重新发明轮子的方法

基本上与上面的PictureBox解决方案相同，但这次使用了在项目中使用嵌入式资源的幕后代码:

在XAML:

<WindowsFormsHost x:Name="_loadingHost">
  <Forms:PictureBox x:Name="_loadingPictureBox"/>
</WindowsFormsHost>

在后台代码:

public partial class ProgressIcon
{
    public ProgressIcon()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        var stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("My.Namespace.ProgressIcon.gif");
        var image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(stream);
        Loaded += (s, e) => _loadingPictureBox.Image = image;
    }
}

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);
   }
}

我无法让这个问题最流行的答案(上面由达里奥提出)正常工作。结果是奇怪的、起伏不定的动画和奇怪的工件。 目前为止我找到的最佳解决方案: https://github.com/XamlAnimatedGif/WpfAnimatedGif

你可以用NuGet安装它

WpfAnimatedGif安装包

并使用它，在一个新的名称空间的窗口，你想添加gif图像，并使用它如下所示

<Window x:Class="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" <!-- THIS NAMESPACE -->
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">

<Grid>
    <!-- EXAMPLE USAGE BELOW -->
    <Image gif:ImageBehavior.AnimatedSource="Images/animated.gif" />

这个包非常简洁，你可以像下面这样设置一些属性

<Image gif:ImageBehavior.RepeatBehavior="3x"
       gif:ImageBehavior.AnimatedSource="Images/animated.gif" />

你也可以在你的代码中使用它:

var image = new BitmapImage();
image.BeginInit();
image.UriSource = new Uri(fileName);
image.EndInit();
ImageBehavior.SetAnimatedSource(img, image);

编辑:Silverlight支持

根据josh2112的评论，如果你想在Silverlight项目中添加GIF动画支持，请使用github.com/XamlAnimatedGif/XamlAnimatedGif

我修改了迈克·艾希瓦的代码，让它运行得更好。你可以使用它与1帧jpg png bmp或多帧gif。如果你想绑定uri到控件，绑定UriSource属性，或者你想绑定任何内存流，你绑定Source属性，这是一个BitmapImage。

这是一个自定义控件。您需要在WPF应用程序项目中创建它，并在样式中删除模板覆盖。
