[Solved] Show LoadingPanel by default but exceptionally Hide it

[Saed]

Hello there,

in most cases, I need the LoadingPanel to show with every Ajax Request, so I set it as the DefaultLoadingPanel in the RadAjaxManager. Things are fine and it loads nicely. However, in very few scenarios I don't wish the Panel to load. Is there a way to disable that on client-side?

RadAjaxManager as well as the LoadingPanel reside in my main ASPX page while the event I wish to disable the LoadingPanel for is in a UserControl that dynamically feeds into main ASPX. I can't seem to figure out how to reference the LoadingPanel from UserControl via client-side as well.

The other alternative would be to explicitly identify the LoadingPanel with every AjaxSetting's UpdateControl, which I believe is far from being practical.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

[Sebastian]

Hello Saed,

You can display or hide the RadAjaxLoadingPanel explicitly using the show/hide methods from its client-side API (depending on the initiator of the request). Review the following topic from the RadAjax documentation for more details.

Thanks for the the advice, but in order to to implement that I need to reference the LoadingPanel. As I said, LoadingPanel is in aspx while the call needs to be in a UserControl. How could I achieve that? Documentation assumes LoadingPanel in same page.

Thank you again.

Hello Saed,

With the $find method you should be able to reference the client object of the RadAjaxLoadingPanel regardless whether you javascript resides on the main page or inside a user control. Let me know if I am missing something obvious.
