UpdateProgress not showing.

I have an update panel that has 4 triggers to update it, and then I have an UpdateProgress that shows for that panel.

However the progress doesn't show unless a button in the panel is clicked, can it be made to show whenever the panel updates?

Thanks.

The UpdateProgress will not show automatically for any asyncpostback trigger. you have to manually show it. Check out this urlhttp://www.asp.net/AJAX/Documentation/Live/tutorials/ProgrammingUpdateProgress.aspx -Displaying Update Progress Using Client Script section.

Thanks! Will check into this.

Yes you have to see the online documentation

UpdateProgress not showing up

I have a page which has a FormView control and when I click one of the rows I get an ModalPopup for editing the detailed information. This works, however it takes too long for ModalPopup to open. Since I haven't found any solution for speeding up the ModalPopup, I thought I might as well inform the user that the data is loading on the background. I also thought that I might give UpdateProgress-control a try. I know that this is not the best solution for this (performance) issue but so far is the best I can figure out.

My page looks like this:

<Button> (hidden)
<ModalPopupExtender>
<Panel>
<UpdatePanel>
<FormView>
</UpdatePanel>
<UpdateProgress>
</Panel>

So what I would like is that before ModalPopup is visible, user gets an message presented by UpdateProgress, that something is going on. However with this current setup, nothing happens, UpdateProgress is not activated. Any ideas why ?

The ModalPopupExtender and the popup control have to be inside the UpdatePanel for UpdateProgress to be activated.

Hi,

Here an example of how to procede with.

<asp:UpdatePanelID="UpdatePanel1"runat="server"UpdateMode="Conditional">

<ContentTemplate>

<!-- Place here your ModalPopupExtender and the popup control -->

</ContentTemplate>

</asp:UpdatePanel>

<asp:UpdateProgressID="UpdateProgress1"DynamicLayout="false"runat="server"DisplayAfter="50">

<ProgressTemplate>

<spanstyle="font-family: Trebuchet MS; color: #ffffff;">Chargement...</span</ProgressTemplate>

</asp:UpdateProgress>

<ajaxToolkit:AlwaysVisibleControlExtenderID="AlwaysVisibleControlExtender1"runat="server"TargetControlID="UpdateProgress1"HorizontalSide="Center"VerticalSide="Middle"HorizontalOffset="0" />

Kind regards,

Ok,

Thanks both, I try to take look at this bit more today.

I tried this and it works, thanks !

One question though, why is AlwaysVisibleControlExtender needed, because the examples I have seen are done without this ? I always thought that UpdateProgress would be the only control needed here.

Happy to see that it works.

This extender is just here for managing the UpdateProgressExtender position. As you can seeHorizontalSide="Center"VerticalSide="Middle"

are for specifying the position in the screen where you would like to have the loading displayed, and even if you are scrolling up and down inside the page, you'll see that the position will always stay where you define it.

Kind regards,

Ok, now I see why it's needed. Thanks again.

UpdateProgress with AssociatedUpdatePanelID not showing

I have a page withe 2 updatepanels & 2 updateprogress, when I set the AssociatedUpdatePanelID for each updateprogress control, neither is displayed when its associated panel is updated but when I remove the AssociatedUpdatePanelID, they work. But I need to set it. What can I do?

Can you post your asp.net code?

<

tr><td align="right">Country</td><td><asp:DropDownListID="ddlCountry"runat="server"DataSourceID="CountriesDS"DataTextField="CountryName"DataValueField="CountryId"AutoPostBack="True"AppendDataBoundItems="True"><asp:ListItemValue="0">-- Select Country --</asp:ListItem></asp:DropDownList></td></tr><tr><tdalign="right">City</td><td><ajax:UpdatePanelID="CityPanel"runat="server"UpdateMode="Conditional"><ContentTemplate><asp:DropDownListID="ddlCity"runat="server"DataSourceID="CitiesDS"DataTextField="CityName"DataValueField="CityId"><asp:ListItemValue="0">-- Select City --</asp:ListItem></asp:DropDownList>

<

ajax:UpdateProgressID="CityLoading"runat="server"AssociatedUpdatePanelID="CityPanel"><ProgressTemplate><imgsrc="../images/spinner.gif"align="absmiddle"alt="Loading..."></ProgressTemplate></ajax:UpdateProgress></ContentTemplate><Triggers><ajax:AsyncPostBackTriggerControlID="ddlCountry"/></Triggers></ajax:UpdatePanel></td></tr>

Hi, I have the same problem. The probem is with Triggers collection of UpdatePanel. It doesn`t work together with UpdateProgress.

Put that DropDownList inside UpdatePanel control and it will work.

Thanks it worked
