If a button cannot be ajaxed, ie a button that exports a report to PDF, etc, what is the best way to still show the loading panel while it is processing prior to exporting the report?

Are there any demos that show an example of this?

Thanks

Hi Cheryl,

Generally there is an option to manually show RadAjaxPanel on a button click event using its client show() method. However unfortunately in case of exporting scenarios there is no server event that firs which could be used to hide the already shown RadAjaxLoadingPanel.
Therefore in such scenarios the appearance of RadAjaxLoadingPanel is not possible.
More information on the RadAjaxLoadingPanel manual showing could be found below:
