MultiSelect controller API that can show loading icon and close it

[Chuanlong]

Hi Experts,

I have found that in the demo of MultiSelect controller, when loading data, can show a little loading icon in the controller. I want to know if there are 2 APIs that I can invoke to show loading and close loading. Because I implement the data request with ajax in the page, after this ajax finish I will fill data in the MultiSelect controller, but during the ajax request data, I want the MultiSelect controller show loading.

Hi Chuanlong,

Unfortunately this loading icon cannot be used outside the widget, as it is not available as a stand alone component. However you can still use the dataSource to perform your Ajax calls, so the loading icon is automatically shown.

Hello Chunalong,

This is the default behavior of the widget, that you can see in the following demo as well:
