RE: [flexcoders] Re: Simple way to do "Please wait..." type window

[Dimitrios Gianninas]

Yup I've used that same method as well in a few places, users can be very impatient, even waiting 2 secs for them is too long, so they click again.   In my latest app I use the modal pop up, with Flex 2 and the auto-blur of the background, this fits in nicely. In older apps I would simply have a status bar at the bottom of the screen displaying what action is currently occurring.   Dimitrios Gianninas RIA Developer Optimal Payments Inc.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas Knudsen Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 9:01 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Simple way to do "Please wait..." type window I'm liking Jesse 'JW' Wardens's suggestion.  (If you had a dollar for everyone that noticed that, eh?)  But I've been playing with this.  I set a bool flag in my model called inProgress.  When a command runs its execute() method, I set inProgress = true.  in the onresult() and onfault() I set inProgress = false.  Now anywhere I have say a button I don't want the user to click I use enabled="{  !pathtomaodel.inProgress }"  OR in the event handler for a button I usea conditional around inProgress.  Why do we need such a beast?  Something I ran into with a app I built in 1.5.  user mashes save.  Events fire and server side code is called, yeehaw.  User then mashes save again BEFORE the above save event is complete.  This can really fubar up stuff.  Also note, many web users actually double click buttons in a web interface still.

Is there a way to make the busy cursor modal so that the user can't use it to click around?
