Image at the end of textbox while typing

[kp]

I'm using a SQL DataSource to bind to RadAutoCompleteBox in the Page Load. The RadAutoCompleteBox  is inside a RadAjaxPanel. However, when I type anything into the box, I do not see the loading/spinning image at the end of the text box as shown in the sample here:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/autocompletebox/examples/templates/defaultcs.aspx


Here's my code:

<telerik:RadAjaxPanel runat="server" ID="Panel1">

                           <telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox runat="server" ID="MailTo" Filter="StartsWith" DropDownHeight="400"

                               DropDownWidth="250" AllowCustomEntry="true" DataTextField="Text" DataValueField="Value">

                               <DropDownItemTemplate>

                                   <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

                                       <tr>

                                           <td align="left" style="width: 50%; padding-left: 10px;">

                                               <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Text")%>

                                           </td>

                                       </tr>

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {

           MailTo.DataSource = GetUsers();
           MailTo.DataBind();

       }

                                   </table>

                               </DropDownItemTemplate>

                           </telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox>

                       </telerik:RadAjaxPanel>

Hello Kanishka,

I have tested your RadAutoCompleteBox settings, but everything seems to work correctly with the spinning image. However, if you test this locally, it is possible that there is no time for the spinning image to be displayed (due to fast response time).

For testing purposes only I could suggest that you force the response to be delayed with the following and see if the spinning image will be displayed:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
    MailTo.DataSource = GetUsers();
    MailTo.DataBind();
}

Hope that helps.
