I am writing a .NET (VB) web application which is using a page with a control present on it. In the control there is a data entry form with a save function. The save function at the moment saves the data into a SQL Server database and then reloads the form to show the data again.
Due to varying times it takes to save the data, some users are closing down the browser during the saving process, thus it is not always being written to the database. Also sometimes they navigate away from the web application screen to another part of the system that causes the same issue.
What I would ideally like it if a message box was to appear when saving, stating that the application is saving data, and all other controls on the application web page are disabled while it is shown. Then when the saving process is completed the message box automatically disappears. The issue I am aware of is that the majority of the time the save process is nearly instantaneous, so I would need a minimum display time on this message box.
Does anyone have any ideas of the best way forward? And is there a Telerik control I can use to achieve this?
Thanks ever so much!

Hi David,
I can suggest that you try one of the following approaches:

I can suggest that you try one of the following approaches:
- Display a modal RadNotification when the button which makes the request to server is clicked and then hide the RadNotificaion when the request is executed(e.g. using sys.application.add_load() event). You may find useful the following resource in achieving this scenario:
- How to make a modal RadNotification Knowledge Base.
- Executing JavaScript function from server-side code help article.
- Use the RadAjaxLoadingPanel and make the page modal on displaying the loading panel or when an Ajax Request starts. Such an example is illustrated in "gray out" page when displaying loading panel Code Library. Note that the code library has been create a long time ago, so that some modifications must be made (i.e. change the RadControls tag prefixes from radA to telerik).
