在WPF中显示GIF动画图像的最佳方法是什么？

Question

I would like to display an animation gif such as loading... in my XAML as my procedure is progressing. I found out that this cannot be easily done in WPF as I loaded my Gif and it just shows the first frame. What are the best ways to display an animation in WPF.

You can use the following code for loading GIFImage in a WPF app

    using System;
    using System.Windows;
    using System.Windows.Controls;
    using System.Windows.Media;
    using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
    using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;

    /// <summary>
    /// Class to host nornmal and Gif images and plays the animation.
    /// To make it work, instead of setting ImageSource, set the AnimationSourcePath property.
    /// </summary>
    public class GifImage : Image
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Dependency property to hold value for AnimationSourcePath.
        /// </summary>
        public static readonly DependencyProperty AnimationSourcePathProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register(
            "AnimationSourcePath",
            typeof(string),
            typeof(GifImage),
            new UIPropertyMetadata(String.Empty, AnimationSourcePathPropertyChanged));

        /// <summary>
        /// Dependency property to hold value of integer animation timeline values for FrameIndex.
        /// </summary>
        private static readonly DependencyProperty FrameIndexProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register(
            "FrameIndex",
            typeof(int),
            typeof(GifImage),
            new UIPropertyMetadata(0, new PropertyChangedCallback(ChangingFrameIndex)));

        /// <summary>
        /// Dependency property to hold value of integer animation rate which slows down animation speed if value is more than 1.
        /// </summary>
        private static readonly DependencyProperty FrameRefreshRateProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register(
            "FrameRefreshRate",
            typeof(int),
            typeof(GifImage),
            new UIPropertyMetadata(1, AnimationSourcePathPropertyChanged));

        /// <summary>
        /// Member to hold animation timeline for integer values.
        /// </summary>
        private Int32Animation anim;

        /// <summary>
        /// Member to hold flag to indicate if animation is working.
        /// </summary>
        private bool animationIsWorking = false;

        /// <summary>
        /// Member to hold Gif Bitmap Decoder.
        /// </summary>
        private GifBitmapDecoder gf;

        /// <summary>
        /// Initializes a new instance of the GifImage class.
        /// </summary>
        public GifImage()
        {
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Initializes a new instance of the GifImage class based on the uri.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="uri">Uri of the image source.</param>
        public GifImage(Uri uri)
        {
            GifImage.SetupAnimationSource(this, uri);
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a value indicating AnimationSourcePath.

        public string AnimationSourcePath
        {

            set { SetValue(AnimationSourcePathProperty, value); }
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a value indicating FrameIndex.
        /// </summary>
        public int FrameIndex
        {

            set { SetValue(FrameIndexProperty, value); }
        }

        /// <summary>

        }

            GifImage ob = obj as GifImage;
            ob.BeginAnimation(GifImage.FrameIndexProperty, null);
            ob.anim = null;
            ob.gf = null;
            ob.Source = null;

            if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(ob.AnimationSourcePath) &&
                Uri.IsWellFormedUriString(ob.AnimationSourcePath, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute))
            {
                if (((string)ob.AnimationSourcePath).ToLower().EndsWith(".gif"))
                {
                    Uri uri = new Uri(ob.AnimationSourcePath);
                    GifImage.SetupAnimationSource(ob, uri);
                    ob.BeginAnimation(GifImage.FrameIndexProperty, ob.anim);
                }
                else
                {
                    ob.Source = (new ImageSourceConverter()).ConvertFromString(ob.AnimationSourcePath) as ImageSource;
                    ob.InvalidateVisual();
                }

                ob.animationIsWorking = true;
            }
        }

        /// <summary>

        {
            ob.gf = new GifBitmapDecoder(uri, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default);
            double val = (ob.gf.Frames.Count / 15.0) - (ob.gf.Frames.Count / 15);
            TimeSpan tmpSpn = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, ob.gf.Frames.Count / 15, (int)(val * 1000));
            Duration durtn = new Duration(new TimeSpan(tmpSpn.Ticks * ob.FrameRefreshRate));

        }

        /// <summary>

            if (!this.animationIsWorking)
            {
                BeginAnimation(GifImage.FrameIndexProperty, this.anim);
                this.animationIsWorking = true;
            }
        }
    }

The way you use it as follows....

    <ns:GifImage AnimationSourcePath="../MyGifImage.gif" />
