[Solved] Loading Panel Advice

[Adam]

I'm trying to implement a loading panel on my page and hitting a few road blocks.

For some background, here is our architecture:

We have a page that opens that contains a tabstrip connected to a multiview.  Each multiview page has its own user control on it (4 total pages).  The controls are not created dynamically, but they are dynamically populated depending on which tab is present (there can be x number of tabs at one time).

We'd like to have the loading panel show up on each lengthy operation, centered in the screen would look nice, but the user controls are not playing nicely.  For example, one user control has a splitter with a treeview on the left and a grid on the right.  Instead of showing the loading panel in the center, the loading panel takes the size/shape of the grid.

I am using the ConfigureAjax method of programmatically passing the RadAjaxManager to the child usercontrol.  I am using a LoadingPanel from the main page.  Should this be a separate loading panel existing on the user control itself?

I guess I am looking for a "best practices" when it comes to using loading panels within a complex user control hierarchy.

Thanks!

I reviewed the example - I used the javascript in the example verbatim, but I overlooked the IsSticky property.  Setting this fixed the problem I was having.

Thanks!
