Displaying spinner waiting indicator while loading web page

Question

Hi I have a WPF application that is loading web pages. Some of the web pages taking long time. I want to display an indicator like spinner I have the spinner already and using it in other places of the WPF using the storyboard animation of the WPF. The question is, can I use it in the web browser control? Can you let the web browser control load in different thread than the UI thread? Should I use Frame control or web browser control? Thanks

Yes, use a Frame and handle the LoadCompleted event. In other words, show the spinner until LoadCompleted fires.

There is no need to use a separate thread for loading: The Frame control already provides for loading the content in the background.
