Busy indicator is not working on RadWindow

[Triet Nguyen Cong]

Hi Telerik team,

I tried to use busy indicator on RadWindow, but it seems is not working. I use busy indicator from namespace:

xmlns

 

 

:Controls="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit"

Could you give me a solution for this to work around?
Thanks,
Triet

Hi Triet Nguyen Cong,

The beta of 2010.Q2 is already released and we have RadBusyIndicator inside. You can use it like this:

<UserControl
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
    x:Class="SilverlightApplication5.MainPage"
    Width="640" Height="480">

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <telerik:RadWindow x:Name="TheWindow" Header="RadWindow" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="122,128,102,115">
            <telerik:RadBusyIndicator IsBusy="True">
                <telerik:RadScheduler />
            </telerik:RadBusyIndicator>
        </telerik:RadWindow>
        <!-- NOTE: Clicking this invokes: this.TheWindow.ShowDialog(); -->
        <telerik:RadButton Content="Button" Height="27" Margin="246,0,234,68" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Click="RadButton_Click" />
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Imagine the RadScheduler there load appointments from service. You set the IsBusy to true on the RadBusyIndicator while you are loading the appointments and when you load them and feed the results in the AppointmentSource of the scheduler you set the IsBusy to false.

Of course we would not limit you to use only our controls so you can use the toolkit one. Only it wont have theme to much our themes. I believe you can work with it pretty much the same way.

Thanks Panayot !

I will wait Q2 2010 release. It has nice controls what I expect like: Rad RichTextbox and RadBusyIndicator.

Hi,

I wrapped a WPF Grid with the RadBusyIndicator and is set to IsBusy = false.  On the code behind, when  button is clicked I set  the IsBusy = true, wait until the event is finished, and then set it back to IsBusy = false.  It is not working.  I never see the indicator.  Now, if a RadWindow.Alert is called, then I can see the indicator behind the RadWindow alert.  Any clue?

Thanks.

Hi Gabriel Vera,

This is a Silverlight thread while you are posting for WPF. You may consider opening a WPF post for that matter. For me the following code works fine:

<Window x:Class="RadControlsWpfApp1.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <telerik:RadBusyIndicator IsBusy="True">
            <telerik:RadGridView />
        </telerik:RadBusyIndicator>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Can you sen us some xaml that reproduces the problem (a working project would be even better) in a new support ticket so we may check the problem for you?

Sincerely yours,
