In our deployment of WebFOCUS we frequently present a set of chained list boxes for the user to select variables. At times these list boxes are large and/or may require several seconds to retrieve the data for population. During the time the list boxes are populating the user interface is ‘locked’ with no indication to the user that activity is underway behind the scenes. In order to advise the user that the application is really working during this delay (and not ‘frozen’), we would like to present some form of animated indicator (e.g., a rotating progress bar) that is initiated when the list box population begins and ends when the HTML page is open for further user input . However, our research to date (including a review of prior Focal Point postings) has not been successful. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hi Sripad,

you can follow the population progress in the status-bar of your browser. It changes from "Retrieving data..." to "Populating controls..." and finally to "Done populating".

But I agree with you that it is a nice idea to show an animated indicator while the population is in progress. I'm also interested in any suggestions.

I use a redirect page where we point to a fex which has some basic HTM code
and references a spinning disc GIF an example of which is below.

Hope this makes sense,
Paul

Release 7.6.10 has this built in. Until the page fully loads, you get an animated GIF and the words, "Loading, please wait".

If you don't have 7.6.10, then somewhere on this forum is an example.
