A question regarding AJAX Updateprogress

[MrNorth]

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?

Hi!

I have used asp.net for the past year and am familiar with all material there, including white papers and videos. Sadly the updateprogress video doesn't behave quite the way as in my scenario... thats why I asking here...

Well, if the MS AJAX doesn't work for you, just write you own javascript to do it. All the controls are just html in the end.
