Hi!

I have a very simple form with a dropdownlist which has aoutpostback= true.

When I select a value I want some information to load to a gridview. The gridview is inside a multiview control.

Since it take a few seconds to load the grid I want o show a loading animation instead. But I cant make this work properly, perhaps due to the async behaviour of ajax? I want this to happen:

1) When selecting a value in dropdown, clear the multiview so only the loading progress is visible

2) Hide the loading progress

3)Display the grid

I want to do it in this order because I dont want the controls to jump up/down on the form. If I have flowlayout and the grid has loadd once and I select a new value in the dropdown, then the visible gridview will jump down to make room for the updateprogress panel which I have placed above the multiview...

does this make sense?
