Map Loading Progress Bar

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to implement a map loading progress bar is in the Silver light API? When a user zooms the map, or loads a new layer, the progress bar shows and makes aware the user that we are waiting on some results from the server.

I would be looking for a way to have this attached to events which depend on server results such as my layer loading events and find tasks as I have lots of data being displayed.

I have tried checking in the forums with no luck. Any leads would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Lawrence

Thanks Lawrence for info, I was able to use it. I got it to work, just needed to also add this below.

dojo.connect(map, "onUpdateStart", function(){
          esri.show(dojo.byId("status"));
        });
        dojo.connect(map, "onUpdateEnd", function(){
          esri.hide(dojo.byId("status"));
        });

Regards.

Hi, I was wondering if there is another example on how to use the progress bar. I clicked the link in the thread but it has been removed. i am trying to add a progress bar when the map loads or when layers are added. Thanks. Jerry Hi unfortunately I can't find the link either. But here is what u can do: Have a some html mark up like so: Loading... And css like so: #status { background-color: black; color: white; padding: 3px; border: solid 3px white; border-radius: 5px; } And in your script u can call esri.show(dojo.byId("status")) at the start of you long running process and esri.hide(dojo.byId("status")) after the end of the long running process. Hope that helps, Lawrence
