DataView loadingText not displaying

Hi all, i'm new to ExtJs... but am extremely impressed!

Here's my issue. I have configured a DataView with some loadingText='it is loading...', the dataview's store is a JsonStore. the JsonStore gets loaded with data via the loadData() method. Everything works great except the loadingText is never displayed.

what am i missing?

thanks in advanced.

That's probably not the best way to do it... but hey, if it works.

Ext.onReady(function() {
var ascDesc = 'ASC';
var store = new Ext.data.JsonStore({
root: '',
fields: ['Id', 'DisplayName', 'DateUpdated'
, 'Product', 'ProductGroup', 'FileId', { name: 'SizeBytes', type: 'int' }
, { name: 'AssetTypeId', type: 'int' }, 'FileSize', 'FileExtension'
]
});
PageMethods.GetAssets("", "", "", get_AssetsComplete);
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
'',
'',
'

i'll post in a moment if needed...

i retrieve data from a ASP.NET pagemethod. I guess it makes sense that i'm passing the rawdata once it has already been downloaded, and such that there is no triggering of any other events.

is there a way to either fire off the display of the loadingText programatically or even fire the onbeforeload event which i assume would fire the loadingText??

thanks for the quick reply!!

In general it's up to the class itself to fire the event, because:

1) An event is represented by a change in state in the class
2) The class knows which parameters to pass to the handler.

I'd do something like:

Ext.override(Ext.DataView,
{
showLoading: function()
{
if(this.loadingText){
this.clearSelections(false, true);
this.el.update(''+this.loadingText+'

What do you think the best way would be? I'm always open to suggestions.

loadData means you're loading local data, so it's probably loading "too quickly".

Post your code.

Much much cleaner!!!

Thanks much!

I figured it out... i just needed to add the store.fireEvent('beforeload') prior to the code that retrieves the data.

Thanks for your attention!

Post code in code tags, see: http://extjs.com/forum/misc.php?do=bbcode

Yeah, so before you make your ajax request, you need to do something like:

myView.onBeforeLoad(); //private method

LoadingText will only work if you have the store actually load the data for you, since it will handle the ajax request.
