- devexpress-wpf-loading-indicatorsDevExpress/agent-skillsDisplay loading indicators in WPF apps with the DevExpress utility controls — SplashScreenManager (a window-level splash screen shown during startup or long-running operations, runs on a separate UI thread), LoadingDecorator (a content container that wraps any UI and shows an indicator while it loads, with owner-lock modes), and WaitIndicator (a simple popup panel that runs on the main UI thread). Use when adding a startup splash screen via SplashScreenManager.CreateThemed / CreateFluent / CreateWaitIndicator + ShowOnStartup; wrapping content with dx:LoadingDecorator and configuring OwnerLock and SplashScreenTemplate; toggling dx:WaitIndicator visibility with DeferedVisibility; deciding which indicator to use for which scenario. Also use when someone mentions "DevExpress.Xpf.Core.SplashScreenManager", "DXSplashScreenViewModel", "LoadingDecorator", "WaitIndicator", "DXSplashScreen" (legacy). Covers .NET 8+ and .NET Framework 4.6.2+.Design★ 66
