Vista "breadcrumb" bar progress indicator using ViewPort - Rudi Grobler

Vista "breadcrumb" bar progress indicator using ViewPort

Vista has a brand new "breadcrumb" bar replacing the old address bar. If you have a relative slow pc running vista (like me) and open a explorer window, the new "breadcrumb" bar acts like a progress bar showing the progress of the loading of the items. To recreate this in WPF is relatively simple! I first created a user control that looks similar to the "breadcrumb" bar. Next step is to add a grid, progress bar and a view box. Lastly add the user control to the view box.

Here is an excerpt from the code

<Grid Width="500" Height="20">
   <ProgressBar Value="50" />
   <Viewbox>
    <VistaBarTest:BreadcrumbBar Width="500" Height="20" />
   </Viewbox>
</Grid>
And this is the results...
