Status message

[Tonih]

Hi,

I am lazy loading some data into my chart and wondering how do I create a status message on the chart, similar to http://www.highcharts.com/stock/demo/lazy-loading?

Thanks,
Tonih

Hi Tonih,

If I understand you correctly you would like to create something like a progress bar in Kendo UI Chart? If this is the case I am afraid this is not supported at this point and there is no a suitable workaround I can suggest. If you are requesting different functionality please elaborate a bit more. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Hi Iliana,
Thanks for your response. I am referring only to the status message that says "Loading data from server" when the data range is changed from the navigator. I only want to display this message when the user clicks a button to retrieve the data from server, then remove it on data receive success. So I guess the question is how do I add a "Loading data from server" message on top of the chart, not necessarily a progress bar.

Thanks,
Tonih

Hello Tonih,

Thank you so much for the provided details. I am afraid this is also not supported out-of-the-box in Kendo UI Chart, however I can suggest you the following workaround:

• Create a custom <div> element with Loading message and position it over the Chart;
• Once the data is loaded (i.e. in the DataBound event) hide the aforementioned <div>.

For your convenience here is a simple jsFiddle example.
