LoadStatusTemplate on load on demand menu

[Olivier]

Hi,

I'm using a RadMenu to display the first levels of my sitemap.

I use ajax to load menuitems on demand.

It's working well, but it's a little bit slow in IE6, so I would like to display a loading image or something. I'm trying to use the LoadingStatusTemplate property but it doesn't work...

Here's the code from my menu (a UserControl)

<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" ShowStartingNode="false" />
<telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
    <AjaxSettings>
        <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadMenu1">
            <UpdatedControls>
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadMenu1" />
            </UpdatedControls>
        </telerik:AjaxSetting>
    </AjaxSettings>
</telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy>
<telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server"
    DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1"
    MaxDataBindDepth="1"
    DataTextField="Title"
    DataValueField="Key"
    DataNavigateUrlField="Url"
    OnItemDataBound="RadMenu1_ItemDataBound">
   <LoadingStatusTemplate>
       <asp:Image runat="server" ID="LoadingImage" ImageUrl="~/common/images/ajax-loader.gif" ToolTip="Loading..." Width="16px" Height="16px" />
   </LoadingStatusTemplate>
    <WebServiceSettings Path="~/Webservices/SiteMenuService.svc" Method="LoadData" />
    <DataBindings>
        <telerik:RadMenuItemBinding Depth="0" ExpandMode="WebService" />
    </DataBindings>
</telerik:RadMenu>

Any idea if something is wrong or missing ?

Thank you,

Olivier

Hello Olivier,

You don't need to ajaxify the menu when its items are loaded with a web service, please remove the ajax manager and let us know whether this helps.

All the best,
