ASPxClientCallbackPanel.EndCallback Event

Occurs on the client side after a callback’s server-side processing has been completed.

Declaration

EndCallback: ASPxClientEvent<ASPxClientEndCallbackEventHandler<ASPxClientCallbackPanel>>

Event Data

The EndCallback event's data class is ASPxClientEndCallbackEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
command	Gets a command name that identifies which client action forced a callback to occur.

Remarks

The ASPxClientCallbackPanel.BeginCallback and EndCallback events can be used to perform specific client-side actions (for example, to display and hide an explanatory text or picture) while a callback is being processed on the server side.

Example

The ASPxCallbackPanel control provides a built-in loading panel, however you can implement a custom one. For this purpose, the default panel is hidden by setting the Enabled property to false. The custom panel is implemented using the ASPxLoadingPanel control. The callback panel’s BeginCallback and EndCallback client-side events are used to show and hide the loading panel respectively. Additionally, this example demonstrates how to add, modify, and hide controls in the ASPxCallbackPanel control in the Callback event handler.
