Wait message or progress bar
I need to implement a wait message, hour glass or progress bar for some of my workflows. I see there are timers that can be implemented but those seem to be just delay mechanisms. I need something like the message the appears when you implement the "Create a Printable Map" tool in the I Want To menu. Any ideas?

Zarani,
A good way of implementing this in Workflow is using the ConfigureWorkflowContainer activity. If you include that activity immediately before an activity which may take a long time (such as after a DisplayForm but before a long-running query), you can set properties such as "IsBusy", and a message to display to the user. There are a couple of Workflow Containers included by default in the Silverlight Viewer - for the Workflow Container Name property you could typically use either "Default" (for the data panel on the left of the map) or "ModalWindow" for a popup window over the map. "Default" is preferred, but you can experiment if you wish.

Hi Zarani and John,
Can you point out to me where can I find ConfigureWorkflowContainer activity. I read Silverlight Admin. documentation and saw that control in the workflow design sample, but I still cannot see that activity control on the workflow design.
Thank you,
Kim

John,
Is this the only way to show a busy indicator? While i can get it to work, its not exactly obvious to a user that a background process is taking place... Am i missing something w.r.t. the 'busy' indicator as other than a status & associated text, there's nothing 'dynamic' to make it obvious something is happening...
