How do I make a more sophisticated "Roller"?

I am looking for a good example of a percentage roller in Silverlight. (someone told me that they were called rollers)

The little 开发者_开发知识库default BusyIndicator is nice but I have a lot going on in the backgroud for a particular app and because of this, I want one of those rollers that give a percentage of how much time the use can expect to wait. I already have a way of determining what sort of percentage is going on. In other words, I know what sort of data to send the roller. Can anyone help me?

Use the ProgressBar control and override the ControlTemplate to make it look the way you want.

If I understood correctly you want to change custom BusyIndicator. Here are couple of articles that may help you:

Custom Busyindicator style in Silverlight 4
Ajax-style Style for Silverlight BusyIndicator?

And there is a lot of other nicely created styles for this Control. Try to google it.

Regarding ProgressBar take a look at The ProgressBar control in Silverlight.
