I've a progressbar whose text changes dynamically. I want to update the appearance of it such that as soon as progress comes over text then text color should update. Something like this.
I need text color of text (black) appearing above blue background should automatically change to white. However text having white background should remain black.
Here is one way to do it using a modified version of the ProgressBars
default Template
. It contains two TextBlocks
TextBlock
is the black oneTextBlock
is the white one. This TextBlock
has the Width of the full control and Clip
set to the Width of the progress partThe text of the ProgressBar
is binding to the Tag
property. Usable like this.
<ProgressBar TextBlock.FontWeight="Bold"
Tag="ProgressBar Text"
Foreground="Blue"
Style="{DynamicResource MyProgressBarStyle}"/>
