How to hide loading progress bar in kendo dropdown list?

[Parthasarathi]

Hi All,

How to hide loading progress bar in kendo drop-down list? In case of no items coming from database, just I have to display "-select item-" in cascade drop-down scenario. Keep showing loading bar even though no items coming from database in my view. Immediate help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

 This behavior cannot be disabled. The loading indicator is always shown. What you can do is change its icon back to the dropdown arrow using CSS:

.k-dropdown .k-loading
{
  background: url(http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2012.3.1114/styles/Default/sprite.png);
  background-position: 0 -32px;
}
