[Solved] Showing a modal Dialog during Ajax action

[Reid]

Hi all,

I have a grid using Ajax where the query takes a while to return.  I would like to show a modal dialog (window) showing a progress bar or something to indicate to the user that the process is underway.  

Is it possible to have a dialog do this with some sort of callback handler or event handler that would recieve the message that the data has arrived and dissolve?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Reid

Hi Reid,

In such scenarios you should use the combination of the OnDataBinding event and the OnDataBound events. On the first one you open the window with the animation and on the second one you close it.

Ok thanks Petur,

Are there any links you can provide that demonstrate this?

Hi Reid,

All the needed events are demonstrated in this Grid online demo. Also this demo demonstrates the window API functionality you asked.
