Dear JS-Support,

is the any busy indicator control (built in or with javascript) what you could recommend?

thanks in advance,
best regards,

Hi,

The busy indicator control will be implemented soon. In the meantime, you can implement one using code similar to this one:



Note: starting from Beta 9.2, to display a full-screen popup like the one above, you will need to specify explicitly:
p.HorizontalContentAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch;
p.VerticalContentAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Stretch;

You can make the background darker by surrounding the TextBlock with a Border that has a semi-transparent background, like: Background="#44000000"

Dear JS-Support,
really thanks for your quick & kind relpy.

Frankly speaking, we do not prefer popup & full screen like busy indicator (we used it in the past with Telerik controls):
it's too annoying for users (because of it's blinky/flashing effect).

We prefer iOS like discrete busy indicator / spinner.

So, our problem is:
we would like to use it with WCF calls during wait time (unfortunately: this WCF calls already implemented with NON-Async, blocking calls).

So, our question: is there an easy way to do it with separate Thread (spinning control in an another thread and fresh UI thread from background) ?

or

do it by solution coming from HTML5/JS world?

Another say: to make a busy indicator spinner which is not blocked even if main UI thread is blocked ?

Thanks for your kind reply,
Best Regards,
Péter

For reference, this is the link to your own solution for other people who might need it: http://forums.cshtml5.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7496

Thanks, goog idea.

Anyway, have you tried our solution already ?

best regards,
Péter
