fireCommand and AjaxLoadingPanel

[Dmitry]

Hello,
I have an ajaxified grid and RadAjaxManager set up properly on page. When I use default grid edit/update/delete buttons, loadingpanel shows ok. But when I use clientside fireCommand("", ""), page still fires postback event but loadingpanel won't ever show. What can I do about this?
Thank you.

Anyone?
And 1 more question. I call web service from client code and I want to show loading panel before call and hide it in the webservice callback function. Is that possible?

Hi Dmitry,

Check out this demo. For the first issue, is it a regular postback that happend or ajax request when you call fireCommand("", "")?

Thank you for the link.
As for postback - as far as I know, fireCommand initiates a regular postback, not an ajax request.

Hello Dmitry,

fireComand() initiates post to the server. And if the grid is ajaxified ajax should be performed. If the grid is not ajaxified a regular postback should happen.

Hello, Thank you for clarifying what is what :) I just didn't understand you correctly. As you may see from my 1st post, grid is ajaxified so all request seem to be ajax requests. So when postbacks initiated by default buttons, everything works fine, and when I call fireCommand from client code, panel won't show. Thank you

Hello Dmitry,

Basically, there could be two reasons for the loading panel not to be displayed: 1. Javascript error is thrown; 2. Not ajax request but a regular postback is invoked.
Can you send the code of the problematic page, so I try replicating it in a runnable sample and thus try finding what went wrong?

Kind regards,
