Put the UpdateProgress into an AlwaysVisibleControl?

I already have an updateProgress in a master page as per below code..

Is it possible to somehow wrap this in another control and have this control referenced by an AlwaysVisibleControl. Therefore when a user needs to scroll down a page the update progress will always be visible.

Thanks

There shouldn't be any reason you can't do this to my knowledge... are you having a problem trying to?

Thanks,
Ted

You are right, it does work, I must have been doing something wrong.

Thanks for the reply.

Please share what you did. I'm trying to do the same!

Never mind. I figured it out myself. The AlwaysVisibleControlExtender needs to be inside the <ProgressTemplate> tags. For example:

<%@.RegisterAssembly="AtlasControlToolkit"Namespace="AtlasControlToolkit"TagPrefix="cc2" %>

<atlas:UpdateProgressID="ProgressIndicator"runat="server">
<ProgressTemplate>
<asp:Panelid="progressArea"runat="server">
<br/>Loading, please wait...
<asp:ImageID="LoadingImage"runat="server"ImageUrl="~/Images/spinner.gif"/>
</asp:Panel>
<cc2:AlwaysVisibleControlExtenderID="AlwaysVisible1"runat="server">
<cc2:AlwaysVisibleControlPropertiesTargetControlID="progressArea"/>
</cc2:AlwaysVisibleControlExtender>
</ProgressTemplate>
</atlas:UpdateProgress>

That works great then.


Hi Jason,

I hadto the same problem as you when I tried this last week, and ended up putting the AlwaysVisibleExtender in the ProgressTemplate.

However I found that every few updates on the same page (4 or 5?) would pop a javascript message box saying "Unspecified Error". Everything else seems to work ok.

I was wondering if you have the same problem?

No, I've not seen any issues like that. I'm using the June CTP if that helps. I'll keep an eye on it though as its an app I'm actively developing at the moment.

Are you sure the javascript error is related to the location of the AlwaysVisibleControlExtender?


I'm Using April, perhaps it was fixed. The Javascript error was definately related to AlwaysVisibleControlExtender - once I removed that from my form the error message stops. Add it back = message returns

Try using the June CTP. I believe there are no breaking changes (at least there wasn't for me!).

Also, could you post your AlwaysVisibleControlExtender markup? Unless its simple, maybe there's an issue within it. Just a thought.


I tried this with the June CTP and it seems it works fine.
