UpdateProgress progress property: UpdatePanelID. Will this ever be available ?

Hi, I was just wondering if will ATLAS ever have this property for UpdateProgress, so this way we could have several UpdateProgress controls, each one showing only with their associated UpdatePanel is being updated. I think it's something "essential" and I'm a bit worried about how this feature is still not available. Maybe is not possible for some reason ??

hello.

well, i guess this isn't necessary in the current release because you can only have one partial postback at a time. currently, i'd be happy if i was able to get a reference to the updatepanel that started the partial postback (and this is possible because the pagerequestmanager mantains a reference to it internally - it simply doesn't have a property that let's us get that info!


I have a situation where it is necessary. I have two UpdatePanels and would like to show the UpdateProgress on top of my UpdatePanel. If I could associate the UpdateProgress with the UpdatePanel then this would be easy because when the UpdatePanel is sending data back and forth to the server it would show only the appropriate UpdateProgress control.
I'm surprised too why this has not been added yet. It's more intuitive to the user when the loading indicator only appears in the specific section of the page that is updating.
lookherefor a javascript/css solution. have not tried it out yet though.
the noverber CTP has an AssociatedUpdatePanelID property on the UpdateProcess control. This allows you to tell the updateprogress to display when the desired update panel is posting back.
