LoadingPanel not displaying for RadGrid

[Danielle]

Hi There,

My RadAjaxLoadingPanel doesn't seem to be displaying when the radgrid loads up for the first time a page is visited. I have tried

< telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">

< AjaxSettings>

<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="PlanRadGrid">

<UpdatedControls>

<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="PlanRadGrid" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />

</UpdatedControls>

</telerik:AjaxSetting>  </ AjaxSettings>

</ telerik:RadAjaxManager>

as well as  encapsulting my radgrid within an ajax-enabled panel (see below)

<telerik:RadAjaxPanel runat="Server" EnableAJAX="True" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1">

        <table id="Table1" runat="server" style="width:2000px; text-align:left">
            <tr>
                <td>

                    <telerik:radgrid        id="PlanRadGrid"
                                            AllowFilteringByColumn="True"
                                            AllowSorting="True"
                                            AutoGenerateColumns="False"
etc etc

as well as following the example http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/ajxshowloadingpaneloninitialpageload.html (which is not what I want and it doesn't quite work because the loading panel is displayed AFTER my grid displays!)

Applying the filter/sorting etc correctly displays the loading panel when the grid is rebuilt however I don't know why it isn't being displayed when the grid is built when a user first visits the page.

Thanks for your help,
Danielle

Hi Danielle,

I am sending you a runnable application, which handles the desired functionality.
Give it a try and let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Pavlina,

Thanks for the sample - it worked! Turns out that I needed to set the mastertableview's visible property to false initially and remove the Thread.Sleep() and the timer value from the $find function in javascript.

Thanks again Pavlina.

Danielle
