Delay Load RadGrid

[William]

I have a dashboard page that loads four separate RadGrid's. These grids take anywhere from 2 - 8 seconds to load, and they have to load before the page will load. Is there an easy way to have the page load first and then show a loading animation for the time it takes for each of the Grid's to load?

Hello William,

One suggestion is to show RadAjaxLoading panel on initial page load. you could find more on this from the following documentation.
Show RadAjaxLoadingPanel on initial page load.

Thanks,
Shinu.

That works pretty well, but is there any way to have the loading panel applied to each grid separately? I have a 2x2 table with a RadGrid in each cell. Ideally I'd like the page to load and then have a loading animation on each grid while they load.

Hello William ,

Having in mind that the grids would load during one and the same load of the page, there is no way to notify the client to move the RadAjaxLoadingPanel to show over the next grid. At most you could get four separate loading panels to show at the same time by wrapping each grid in an asp Panel and ajaxifing it in the RadAjaxManager settings.

Kind regards,
