TelerikGrid freezing browser on load

[Ethan]

I've got a TelerikGrid that occasionally loads a very large amount of data and when this happens it will freeze the entire webpage. I was wondering if there is a way to load the grid asynchronously, to allow users to still be able to click other things, or if there is a way to indicate to the user that a loading is occurring. Below is the code for my TelerikGrid and even though I have the line `EnableLoaderContainer="@ShowLoading"` it does not indicate that the grid is loading.

<TelerikGrid 
                    Data="@model.DegradeTableRows" 
                    @ref="@Grid"
                    Width="100%"
                    Height="100%"
                    EnableLoaderContainer="@ShowLoading"
                    Groupable="true"
                    Pageable="false" 
                    Sortable="true"
                    FilterMode="@GridFilterMode.FilterMenu">
                    <GridColumns>
                        <GridColumn Field="unitNumb" Width="110px" FieldType="@typeof(int)" Title="Unit Number"/>
                        <GridColumn Field="grade" Width="100px" Title="Grade" FieldType="@typeof(string)" />
                        <GridColumn Field="length" Width="100px" FieldType="@typeof(string)" Title="Length"/>
                        @if (SizeColumnNames is not null && SizeColumnNames.Any())
                        {
                            foreach (var sizeColumnName in SizeColumnNames)
                            {
                                <GridColumn Width="100px" Field="@sizeColumnName" FieldType="@typeof(int)" Title="@sizeColumnName"/>
                            }    
                        }
                        <GridColumn Width="150px" Field="GrandTotal" FieldType="@typeof(decimal)" Title="Grand Total"/>
                    </GridColumns>
                </TelerikGrid>

Hi Ethan,

The Grid does not display a loading animation on initial load. You can use a separate loader.

In general, there are two main ways to provide data to our components. We recommend the OnRead event in scenarios with a lot of data.
