  1. POWhere do I place busyindicator to wrap the whole page, so no control is enabled until activity is completed

    copied!<p><br> I am creating an app in Silverlight 4 with MVVM Light.</p> <p>At present I have a page with many controls ie. StackPanels, Listbox, TexBlocks and Buttons. I have a busyindicator on the page that is bound to a viewmodel. When a button is clicked to say retrieve data from the database the busyindicator displays and vanishes when the call is completed.</p> <p>This all works as it should.</p> <p>What I want to happen is that the whole page is wrapped in the busyindicator so that the page dims and nothing works until the event is completed. I have read that you just wrap the control inside the Busyindicator. No matter where I place the opening of the indicator I get blue lines showing '<strong>The property Content is set more than once.'</strong> I have posted the code below, could anyone explain where to put the indicator code. </p> <p></p> <pre><code> &lt;Grid.RowDefinitions&gt; &lt;RowDefinition Height ="0" /&gt; &lt;RowDefinition Height ="30" /&gt; &lt;RowDefinition Height ="60" /&gt; &lt;RowDefinition Height ="Auto" /&gt; &lt;RowDefinition Height ="40" /&gt; &lt;/Grid.RowDefinitions&gt; &lt;TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Text="Header" Width="353" Margin="0 0 0 0" Height="30" /&gt; &lt;StackPanel Grid.Row="2" VerticalAlignment="Center" Orientation="Horizontal" &gt; &lt;Button Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Content="GetData" Height="35" Width="130" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,0" Command="{Binding GetData}"&gt;&lt;/Button&gt; &lt;!-- &lt;toolkit:BusyIndicator Width="150" Height="50" IsBusy="{Binding IsBusy}" BusyContent="Searching ..." /&gt; --&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;ListBox x:Name="MyListBox" Grid.Row="3"&gt; &lt;ListBox.ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate&gt; &lt;Grid&gt; &lt;Grid.RowDefinitions&gt; &lt;RowDefinition Height="Auto"&gt;&lt;/RowDefinition&gt; &lt;RowDefinition Height="Auto"&gt;&lt;/RowDefinition&gt; &lt;/Grid.RowDefinitions&gt; &lt;Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt; &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="400"&gt;&lt;/ColumnDefinition&gt; &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="70"&gt;&lt;/ColumnDefinition&gt; &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="10"&gt;&lt;/ColumnDefinition&gt; &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="70"&gt;&lt;/ColumnDefinition&gt; &lt;/Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt; &lt;TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding Name}"&gt;&lt;/TextBlock&gt; &lt;Button Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="2" Grid.Column="3" Content="Delete" VerticalAlignment="Center" Command="{Binding Delete}"&gt;&lt;/Button&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;/ListBox.ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;/ListBox&gt; &lt;TextBlock Grid.Row="4" Margin="5,10,0,0" Text="{BindingMessage}"&gt;&lt;/TextBlock&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; </code></pre>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
