hello,
we've editor's which use stack layout to support both record-view and table-view.
when record is highlighted and double-clicked in table view, it updates the underlying
record-view contents and set as the top control, where the record contents in detail gets
visible to the user.
while loading the editor, it's consuming considerable amount of time (approx. 5-7 seconds,
depending on the connection and hardware spec).
we're wondering if there's any methodology/best practices to update the user interface, while loading,
so that the end user is aware of the background processing taking place during loading of
UI elements.
assuming we have following controls (composites) in our stack layout :
1. progress composite(progress-view)
2. table composite(table-view)
3. record composite(record-view)
we were also planning to introduce another control(progress composite) in stack layout,
where it contains an animated GIF label image with appropriate message.
when the editor is loading, we would like to immediately set the top-control to progress composite
layer and once the loading is done, switch to table composite.
is this possible and if yes what is the event to capture the UI rendering completion event
so that we can safely switch to table-view from progress-view ?
also, is it possible to immediately render and show progress-view while the other widgets
are rendering for both table-view and record-view ?
any suggestion or alternative/best practices are highly appreciated.
regards,
