Multiple Progress Bar States in WPF

Question

I'm currently developing a WPF application in C# and I want to have a progress bar control that can be in a "paused" state as well as an "error" state. Much like this: http://wyday.com/windows-7-progress-bar/ Unfortunately, that's a Windows Forms control and implementing it via a Windows Forms Host proved to be incompatible.

My question is, how can I go about accomplishing a similar effect in WPF? Is it possible to make multiple "states" of a progress bar? Is this kind of operation in WPF but I'm just looking over it? I'm mainly talking about the progress bar itself here, I'm pretty sure I know how to achieve this in the taskbar.

All help is appreciated, especially code examples. Thanks!

It's certainly easy to change the color and style of the WPF Progress Bar, if that's what you mean.

Marquee Style = progressBar1.IsIndeterminate = true;

Error State = progressBar1.Foreground = Brushes.Red;

Paused State = progressBar1.Foreground = Brushes.Yellow;

Normal State =

            Brush newBrush = new SolidColorBrush(){Color = new Color(){A = 255, R = 1, G = 211,B=28}};
            progressBar1.Foreground = newBrush;

Note that I am not really that up to date with the progress bar colors, you might have to experiment a bit with the values above to get it just right.
