Lock indicator placement

[magosk]

I have a lock indicator with Control set for the "page" TIWCGJQMRegion. On a form with a listview in the content region, the placement of the lock indicator is dependent on the number of items in the listview and the current scroll position. If you have many items, I don't see the indicator at all unless you scroll near the middle of the list. I would like the indicator to always be screen centered (or possibly a fixed offset from the top), but I do not know how to accomplish this. I tried e.g. setting top="40%" in the Css property, but that did not seem to help.

Hello

The item has many other properties besides css

Yes, I had tried around with various properties but with no apparent effect on the issue, css top was just an example of one of the things I attempted. This is the code I use currently:

Code: Select all

  Indicator := IWCGJQLockIndicator1.Indicators.Add;
  Indicator.Control := Page;
  Indicator.ImageSetting.Image := jqlidiLoading1;
  Indicator.BaseZ := 2000; // Make sure shown on top of e.g. popups
  Indicator.ShowOverlay := False;   
  Indicator.ImageSetting.Alignment := jqliiaTop;
  Indicator.Css := '{cursor:"wait",textAlign:"center",left:"10%",width:"80%",backgroundColor:"#fff",border:"3px solid #aaa"}';

Hello

Di you try these

published property CenterX
Set this property to true to have the message automatically centered (Required: property CenterY = True) Only effects element blocking (page block controlled via css)
published property CenterY
Set this property to true to have the message automatically centered (Required: property CenterX = True)

And remove textAlign, left and width from css

Also if you this

Indicator.ShowOverlay := False;

you're disabling the locking feature of LockIndicator, ie, user will be able to click while the indicator is being displayed.

Yes, CenterX and CenterY were True (by default). Removing properties from css does not change the behaviour either.

I have attached a small demo project with minimum changes to the default values. Click to add items a few time, and you'll see the indicator being shown further and further down, and then finally not shown at all (unless you scroll the listview).

Thanks for the tip on ShowOverlay!

Hi magosk,

It have correct behavior, the plugin calculate with scroll area.

I will give you the solution on Monday.

Have a nice weekend.

Best Regards.

Hi magosk,

Was checking here and at this moment it's impossible to do this.
It's require some changes in jquery plugin.

Can you create the ticket in our feature tracker please?

Best Regards.

Done. Until there is a fix I use a semi-transparent overlay. This way you at least see that something is happening when you tap something that has an ajax event handler.
