Hi Matthew,
Since the iframe is redirecting to a new page, the initiated load of the form is not a postback, but rather an entirely new page load. Therefore,
RadAjaxLoadingPanel simply does not have a created control to be applied on, thus, this scenario is not supported.
One possible approach to achieve the desired functionality is to use a
RadWindow with
ShowContentDuringLoad set to
false as demonstrated in the following demo:
Window / Show Content During Load
Please note that you could remove the extra styling of
RadWindow and display it as a regular iframe.
An alternative approach would be to try
showing the loading panel explicitly. You could initiate the loading over a given panel on user node click and then end it when the iframe completely loads its page using the onload event of the iframe:
I believe this will prove helpful.
Kind regards,
