Features
Container Element
You can display the loading panel over the entire page or a specified HTML element (ContainerElementID).
<dx:ASPxLoadingPanel ID="ASPxLoadingPanel1" runat="server"
ClientInstanceName="lPanel" ContainerElementID="myDiv" Modal="True" ...>
</dx:ASPxLoadingPanel>
<div style="width:500px; height:300px; border: 1px solid red;" id="myDiv">
TEST
</div>
<dx:ASPxButton ID="ASPxButton1" runat="server" Text="ASPxButton"
AutoPostBack="False">
<ClientSideEvents Click="function(s, e) {
lPanel.Show();
}" />
</dx:ASPxButton>
Modal Mode
You can display the loading panel in modal mode (ASPxLoadingPanel.Modal). In this mode, the loadting panel retains the input focus while active. The user cannot switch the focus to the page until the loading panel is not hidden by the code. In modal mode, the loading panel covers the entire page behind it (or just the element specified via the ASPxLoadingPanel.ContainerElementID property) with a specific Loading DIV element.
<dx:ASPxLoadingPanel ID="ASPxLoadingPanel1" runat="server"
ClientInstanceName="lPanel" ContainerElementID="myDiv" Modal="True" ...>
</dx:ASPxLoadingPanel>
<div style="width:500px; height:300px; border: 1px solid red;" id="myDiv">
TEST
</div>
<dx:ASPxButton ID="ASPxButton1" runat="server" Text="ASPxButton"
AutoPostBack="False">
<ClientSideEvents Click="function(s, e) {
lPanel.Show();
}" />
</dx:ASPxButton>
Appearance Customization
The control’s appearance can be customized via specific style properties, or by assigning a CSS class.
Templates
You can provide custom content for the loading panel (ASPxLoadingPanel.Template).
