I have a process that goes as follows:
1. User clicks a button which updates some data on the back end – (this is a slowish process),
2. Once data is updated, a callback is fired which reloads the Grid data
Currently, the “Loading” box only shows at step 2 – I'd like to trigger it at step 1, to give the user some feedback.

I can't find a public method to achieve this – but maybe I'm missing something.

Anyone with a usggestion for how to achieve this?

Using v3.6

I'm relatively new to jqGrid, so bear with me if this isn't the right way…

I'm firing a line of code on document ready to trigger my loading indicator div's visibility. My element #loadingindicator is a div that has a gif and some text to provide the user with feedback. This is really great because it triggers every time I run an Ajax call, letting the user know to be patient.

Hope it helps. Code below.

$(document).ready(function() {

$('#loadingindicator').ajaxStart(function(){$(this).show();}).ajaxStop(function(){$(this).hide();});

…other code…

}

I want to use the jqGrid Loading box (if possible), not a separate indicator.

Then just trigger the grid's built-in 'Loading…' div's visibility.

The element ID with 3.6 for me is 'load_gridledgertable'… yours is probably 'load_'

New code below.

$(document).ready(function() {

$('#load_gridledgertable').ajaxStart(function(){$(this).show();}).ajaxStop(function(){$(this).hide();});

…other code…

}

Hello,

There is a way to do this, but if you use formedit module the indicator will not show (it will be behind the form). Also I suggest you to use the new ajax settings and construct your own indicator. See what is new in 3.6.
