I'm looking for an example Style to change the look of the Silverlight BusyIndicator to more like the "spinning wheel" look of AJAX apps.

A lap around google produces some links to where people are creating new controls to achieve the same thing (I suspect they pre-date the BusyIndicator) but I'd rather skin the BusyIndicator if possible.

Anyone pont me in the right direction?

Thanks

Mark

Well really a common scenario.. Silverlight devs usually use http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brada/archive/2009/03/20/silverlight-3-activity-control.aspx this type of control. but as your requirement is to have it like AJAX i think this link could be helpful: http://chrisa.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/a-wait-indicator-in-silverlight/

Here are some hints on how to customize data template for busy indicator: http://www.jeff.wilcox.name/2009/11/busy-indicator-control/
