Show LoadingPanel using ajaxRequest

[Giorgio]

Hi,

when I use ajaxRequest function on javascript, i'm not able to show a loading panel over the page.

It's possible to do this?

My code is something like this:

javascript

    function ToolbarButtonClick(sender, args){

        var ajaxManager = $find("<%= RadAjaxManager1.ClientID %>");

        ajaxManager.ajaxRequest("test");

    }

aspx

            <telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel ID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" runat="server" Transparency="20"

                BackColor="#E0E0E0">

                <table style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">

                    <tr style="height: 100%">

                        <td align="center" valign="middle" style="width: 100%">

                            <asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" AlternateText="Loading..." BorderWidth="0px"

                                ImageUrl="../img/Misc/Loading.gif" />

                        </td>

                    </tr>

                </table>

            </telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel>

            <telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server" OnAjaxRequest="RadAjaxManager1_AjaxRequest"

DefaultLoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1">

            </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

Thanks

Giorgio.

Hi Giorgio,

Do you have setting in you ajax manager ajax settings where the RadAjaxManager is set as initiator? If so, then the loading panel should be displayed over the updated control.  If you can paste here the manager ajax settings would help.

Otherwise you can try explicitly show/hide the loading panel as here.

No, I don't have any setting in RadAjaxManager, that's because I use ajaxManager.ajaxRequest("").

The link to explicitly show/hide the loading panel works well.

So It seems that ajaxRequest function does't show the loading panel. It's right?

Thanks.

Giorgio.

Hi,

Yes, the loading panel won't show in this case. Note that RadAjaxLoadingPanel is made to be shown over the updated via ajax control, e.g. this control set as updated one in the ajax setting pair.
However, it is good that the other solution helped.
