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。

我有这个问题，直到我发现在WPF4，你可以模拟自己的关键帧图像动画。首先，将你的动画分割成一系列图像，并将它们命名为“Image1.gif”，“Image2,gif”，等等。将这些映像导入您的解决方案资源中。我假设您将它们放在图像的默认资源位置。

您将使用Image控件。使用下面的XAML代码。我已经去掉了不重要的部分。

<Image Name="Image1">
   <Image.Triggers>
      <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Image.Loaded"
         <EventTrigger.Actions>
            <BeginStoryboard>
               <Storyboard>
                   <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Duration="0:0:1" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Source" RepeatBehavior="Forever">
                      <DiscreteObjectKeyFrames KeyTime="0:0:0">
                         <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                            <BitmapImage UriSource="Images/Image1.gif"/>
                         </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                      </DiscreteObjectKeyFrames>
                     <DiscreteObjectKeyFrames KeyTime="0:0:0.25">
                        <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                           <BitmapImage UriSource="Images/Image2.gif"/>
                        </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                     </DiscreteObjectKeyFrames>
                     <DiscreteObjectKeyFrames KeyTime="0:0:0.5">
                        <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                           <BitmapImage UriSource="Images/Image3.gif"/>
                        </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                     </DiscreteObjectKeyFrames>
                     <DiscreteObjectKeyFrames KeyTime="0:0:0.75">
                        <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                           <BitmapImage UriSource="Images/Image4.gif"/>
                        </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                     </DiscreteObjectKeyFrames>
                     <DiscreteObjectKeyFrames KeyTime="0:0:1">
                        <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                           <BitmapImage UriSource="Images/Image5.gif"/>
                        </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                     </DiscreteObjectKeyFrames>
                  </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
               </Storyboard>
            </BeginStoryboard>
         </EventTrigger.Actions>
      </EventTrigger>
   </Image.Triggers>
</Image>

之前，我也遇到过类似的问题，我需要在你的项目中播放gif文件。我有两个选择:

使用WinForms中的PictureBox 使用第三方库，如codeplex.com的WPFAnimatedGif。

带有PictureBox的版本不适合我，而且项目不能为它使用外部库。所以我通过ImageAnimator的帮助，通过Bitmap为自己制作了它。因为，标准的BitmapImage不支持gif文件的回放。

完整的例子:

XAML

<Window x:Class="PlayGifHelp.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="MainWindow_Loaded">

    <Grid>
        <Image x:Name="SampleImage" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

后面的代码

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    Bitmap _bitmap;
    BitmapSource _source;

    private BitmapSource GetSource()
    {
        if (_bitmap == null)
        {
            string path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

            // Check the path to the .gif file
            _bitmap = new Bitmap(path + @"\anim.gif");
        }

        IntPtr handle = IntPtr.Zero;
        handle = _bitmap.GetHbitmap();

        return Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(handle, IntPtr.Zero, Int32Rect.Empty, BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions());
    }

    private void MainWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        _source = GetSource();
        SampleImage.Source = _source;
        ImageAnimator.Animate(_bitmap, OnFrameChanged);
    }

    private void FrameUpdatedCallback()
    {
        ImageAnimator.UpdateFrames();

        if (_source != null)
        {
            _source.Freeze();
        }

        _source = GetSource();

        SampleImage.Source = _source;
        InvalidateVisual();
    }

    private void OnFrameChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(DispatcherPriority.Normal, new Action(FrameUpdatedCallback));
    }
}

位图不支持URI指令，所以我从当前目录加载。gif文件。

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。

这是我的动画图像控制版本。您可以使用标准属性Source来指定图像源。我进一步改进了它。我是俄罗斯人，项目是俄罗斯的，所以评论也是俄语。但是无论如何，你应该能够理解没有注释的一切。：）

你可以尝试使用web浏览器UI控件，并设置html字符串为html图像标签…

XML:

    <WebBrowser Name="webBrowser1"/>

c#: f

    webBrowser1.NavigateToString(        
      @"<img src=""arrow-24.png""/>"
    );
