[Solved] Replicating your lovely effect

Hiya,

 

You have a lovely radLoadingPanel effect on the following page:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/programming/webmailgrid/defaultcs.aspx

 

.When the user sorts the grid, the effect comes into play.

 

I’m trying to replicate it. However, even after wading though the masses of code etc, I still can’t isolate where the effect is coming from.

On the page itself, the grid is associated with a radLoadingPanel.

I’d have thought that it was a simple matter of the grid/ loadingpanel grabbing the image from the skin, but obviously not.

 

It seems that there’s a header.ascx and a headtag.ascx, which in turn reference other js and App_Code…

 

That’s a  LOT of additional stuff.

 

My question, can you tell me the bare minimum that I need to achieve this effect?

1)      radGrid

2)      radLoadingPanel

3)      skin

4)      ?????? etc

Or, even better yet, could you post a tiny project?

 

Many thanks,

 

yogi

Hello Chris,

I suppose you are talking about the animated image, which is seen during the AJAX requests. It is embedded in the RadAjaxLoadingPanel skin.

Simply set the Skin property of the RadAjaxLoadingPanel and you will have it. Unlike other RadControls, the default Skin property value for the loading panel is "" (no skin) for historical reasons.

When using a skin with RadAjaxLoadingPanel, it is recommended to remove any loading panel template that you might be using and also, not use the Transparency property.
