How to display the LoadingTemplate on initial load

[Peter Gray]

Hi,
I have followed the instructions here: 

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet/grid/grdloadingtemplate.html

to get the loading template to show on the initial load.

I followed the instructions for VB.NET and I can get the loading template to display on initial load, and then my grid shows. So far so good.

When I look closer at the grid I see my grid column titles are missing. The strange thing is if I change the page or expand a hierarchy the titles magically come back.

Anyone have any idea why my grid column titles don't show on the initial load ?  

If I turn off my attempts to get the loading template to work, then my column titles are fine, however I would really like to be able to have that loading template work correctly on initial load.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thansk...Peter

Hello Peter,

The document you depicted is related to our RadControls for ASP.NET suite.

The appropriate example for RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX is shown below:
Show RadAjaxLoadingPanel on initial page load

Please test it locally and let us know whether it's working as expected.

Hi Daniel,

This works great. Thank you.

One more dumb question though.  It works fine with the embedded loading gif.

How do I set the loading template to use a custom image that I would like to use instead?  

The following does not seem to work:

<img alt="Loading..." src='<%= RadAjaxLoadingPanel.GetWebResourceUrl(Page, "../Skins/Custom/Grid/loading.gif") %>' style="border:0;" />

All I get is the broken image link picture with the alt "Loading..."  displayed.

Thanks again !

Cheers...peter

Hello Peter,

Please try the following approach:

<img alt="Loading..." src="../Skins/Custom/Grid/loading.gif" style="border:0;" />
