Hi,
I have (had) a pivot page using some (SL) listboxes.
The page has a "fade" transition.
Everything works fine.
Then I changed the SL listbox to a RadJumpList.
The effects:
a.) blank (dark) screen - than the page just appears (no fade)
b.) navigating away has no transition (no fade effect) also
It just takes some time (for whatever) and the page goes away.
I can improve the loading by adding a timer in "page load" which fires the jumplist binding about 500ms later.
If I do it to fast (timer value to small) it doesn't help - else I get a fade (with an empty listbox) and later the data items appear.
Still no "fade out" on that page.
It seems as if the start animation waits till the JumpList is bound - which unfortunately takes pretty long (>1sec) for about 500 Items grouped by their first character.
Of course I tried to use "IsAsyncBalanceEnabled" - but the effect is not useable.
If I start to scroll (what user would do for sure) the line "drop in one after one".
And if I scroll fast - I sit in front of an empty listbox which takes about 2 and more seconds till the lines fill.
Anyhow - even if I could somehow optimize my code (selectors) - there is still the "no fade out" which is pretty bad,
since there is a delay where nothing happens - so it looks as if the user didn't "hit ok" followed by an imideate disappear of the page.
And to remember - everything works fine if I use the default listbox - OK except one thing - the animation start seems to wait for the data to be bound - so my "progress bar" never shows up.
Before I had page transitions I got a progress bar showing up followed by a filled listbox.
Regards
Manfred
