Use Lock Indicator on form create

[zsleo]

I have a process that starts on creation of a form and may take up to 1 minute to complete multiple independent events.

How do I start the lock indicator in the form create and stop it when the last event process completes?

TIA

Hi Zane

Just put an indicator in the event where you create the form

Since this event envolves the render of a form, must be a full submit event (Ajax = False)

Just ensure that ServerController.ShowAnimation is false to not mix the two.

Thanks, I will try it in the next few days.

Having problems with this myself. What do I set LockOnSubmit/LockUntil loaded to on the form (if this makes a difference)?
Indicator should appear during formcreate method as I open a database and access a few tables / queries. I've Set ShowLoadingAnimation to False on server controller.

I'm also unsure what I set AsyncIndicatorIndex/SubmitIndicatorIndex to.

Thanks,
Andy.

Hi Andy

Please send us a test case, with a Sleep(5000) instead of your dataset operations.

Also, is it possible to set the lock CGD lock indicator globally for an application or a form or a frame?

Not setting for individual presents 'ugly/unnecessary' errors.

A problem I have not resolved when in design mode using a frame is that I frequently get a message that my main for is not included in the project (but it is) and all the frame's components lock indicator settings are removed... I now put lock indicator settings in code but frequently forget which ones were set on components. This is difficult to repeat.

In the ServerController
