I have a progress bar whose ControlTemplate is as follows and I want to set the value of the progress bar to a number so the progress updates to that value. I refered to the accpeted answer on this

CodePudding user response：
If the bar is a rectangular shape, you can utilize the built-in mechanism of ProgressBar to change the shape to show current value. Otherwise, you will need to implement the mechanism on your own.
I think Clemens's answer will give a good hint for this. Let's say, you create a custom ProgressBar named "FlaskProgressBar". In the CustomTemplate for this ProgressBar,
Define a PathGeometry for the Path of outline and set its
Stroketwo-colored Brush to draw outline.Add a RectangleGeometry for the Path of vacant area and crop it using the
Dataof the Path of outline.Add a RectangleGeometry for the Path of filled area which shows current value and crop it as well. Name the RectangleGeomety "PART_Content" so that it can be found from the code-behind.
<ControlTemplate x:Key="FlaskProgressBarTemplate" TargetType="{x:Type local:FlaskProgressBar}">
<ControlTemplate.Resources>
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="OutlineBrush" StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="1,0">
<GradientStop Color="#FF333333" Offset="0.5"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FF666666" Offset="0.5"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FF666666" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</ControlTemplate.Resources>
<Grid>
<Grid Margin="6">
<!-- Draw outline -->
<Path x:Name="Outline"
StrokeThickness="8"
Stroke="{StaticResource OutlineBrush}">
<Path.Data>
<PathGeometry Figures="M 20,0 L 20,60 0,100 60,100 40,60 40,0 Z"/>
</Path.Data>
</Path>
<!-- Draw vacent area -->
<Path Data="{Binding Data, ElementName=Outline}"
Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<Path.Clip>
<RectangleGeometry Rect="0,0,60,100"/>
</Path.Clip>
</Path>
<!-- Draw filled area -->
<Path Data="{Binding Data, ElementName=Outline}"
Fill="{TemplateBinding Foreground}">
<Path.Clip>
<RectangleGeometry x:Name="PART_Content" Rect="0,100,60,100"/>
</Path.Clip>
</Path>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
In the "FlaskProgressBar", find the RectangleGeometry named "PART_Content" and when current value is changed, change Y value of its Rect to move it up or down.
[TemplatePart(Name = "PART_Content", Type = typeof(RectangleGeometry))]
public class FlaskProgressBar : ProgressBar
{
public FlaskProgressBar() : base()
{
ValueProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(FlaskProgressBar),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(0D, (d, e) => SetValue((FlaskProgressBar)d, (double)e.NewValue)));
}
private RectangleGeometry? _content;
public override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
base.OnApplyTemplate();
_content = this.GetTemplateChild("PART_Content") as RectangleGeometry;
SetValue(this, Value);
}
private static void SetValue(FlaskProgressBar instance, double value)
{
if (instance._content is not null)
{
var rect = instance._content.Rect;
instance._content.Rect = new Rect(rect.X, rect.Height - value, rect.Width, rect.Height);
}
}
}
This ProgresBar looks like this:
The actual design of PathGeometry for the Path of outline is all up to you.
