Display loading state in table [message #1805428]

Hi,
Is there a recommended way of displaying a "loading" message/icon/animation while the data for the table is loaded [from a server], as in our case this can take a couple of seconds.

Thanks for the input, and sorry if this question ash already been answered, and i was unable to find it.

Loading of data is actually not really a part of NatTable. The data typically is loaded outside and then placed in a NatTable. So there is no "recommended way" of showing a loading message. If you need some ideas on how a solution could look like, you might want to look at the _900_Everything_but_the_kitchen_sink example. There the data is loaded in a Runnable that first opens a dialog and once the loading is done, the dialog is closed again. But that is just one idea on how it can be solved without troubles between background tasks and the UI thread.
