What do I need to add to the xaml or .cs to enable the busy indicator that seems to install automatically with with a silverlight business app. I would like it to indicate busy when waiting for filters to update, some take a while.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to this inquiry; I went back to the original article for guidance on implementing a BusyIndicator. The attached sample uses the same code as per the article in conjunction with my xamGrid's Filtering event handler. Please have a look at this and let me know if this is helpful. My sample happens to use use RIA services against the Nothwind db.
First just create a new Silverlight business application. There is a busyindicator in the controls section. So I am assuming that could be used.
In addition http://silverlight.codeplex.com/ has a busyindicator.
What about that one that is included the business application?
Perhaps someone who has used this might chime in, but in the mean time, I want to try it out too. What assembly reference and xmlns declaration do you have in your application to get access to the toolkit's BusyIndicator?
You are running Silverlight 4 and NetAdvantage 10.2, correct?
My question is actually if anyone has an example of using the busyindicator that is included in the tempate or the toolkit with the xamgrid so that when its filtering it shows. I am not sure where to put the references to it.
I can't be the first to wonder about this?
I haven't used Silverlight's busy indicator myself before, but I wonder if you have tried the approach as outined in this article...?
You may be able to handle the XamGrid's Filtering event and do something similar to what the author of the article is doing ih his button click event.
If you try this or another approach and have any specific questions, please let me know.
