Hi,
I would like to have something like AJAX loading in my win application. Which means that, during the loading time, it will show some gif running sitting on top of a semi transparent panel (to avoid user continue using the application).
May I know izzit possible to do that with Telerik control?
Please advice.

Hello Ching-Yen,
Generally, this behavior is not supported in winforms, as there is no separation between a client and server tier of an application, which is the usual scenario where AJAX loading is used in the context of a web application.
Could you please describe your scenario in greater detail. This will allow us to provide more accurate advice on how to implement it.
Kind regards,

Hi,
Basically what I want is just that while there are some job running, I do not want the user to interfere the application (via mouse click or keyboard).
I was trying frmMain.Enabled = true and false
But, when, the frmMain.Enabled = false, it will show the form like "grayed out" then, few blinks and back to normal.
My alternate plan is having a transparent control, and add that control to the form as need to cover the entire form, and dispose that control after the loading.

Hi Ching-Yen,
Thank you for writing.
You are able to achieve disabled controls with a normal look as if they are not diabled. You have to set the UseDefaultDisablePaint property of the controls' RootRadElement and of its subelements to false.
You should use a recursive algorithm to access them and modify the value of this property. I have attached a sample project that demonstrates the use of this algorithm. The BrowseControls() method browses all the controls on the Form and the BrowseElements() method browses the subelements of the RadControls' RootRadElement.
I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
All the best,
