Posted on by Community Member

I have a custom ribbon, that when clicked, takes a long time to be proceed cause it calls an external REST api, but in mean while I wan to show the user a Progress Dialog, So I decided to use CrmDialog.
But it has close button on top-right of it and I want to disable it. Is it possible ?

Is there any other way to show a Progress Dialog to user ?

Also I registered a function setCallbackReference of CrmDialog but it is not beign called when I click on Close button.

Hi Babak,

I don't think you can disable that button, but you may want to look at a different implementation altogether because the progress dialog isn't available in 2016 so that'll cause an issue when you upgrade. msdn.microsoft.com/.../microsoft.xrm.client.windows.controls.connectiondialog.progressdialog(v=crm.7).aspx

I would try putting your own processing gif that pops up just before your external call, and when the call completes it clears the gif.

Hope this helps! I'd appreciate if you'd mark this as Answering your question.

Thanks,

Aiden

Hi Babak,

+1 for Aiden's suggestion.

Another option is to use Xrm.Page.ui.setFormNotification() in JavaScript to notify the user of the progress.

Xrm.Page.ui.setFormNotification("This is going to take a while. Time for a coffee!.", "INFORMATION")

www.powerobjects.com/.../dynamics-crm-alert-and-notification-javascript-methods

Below is a suggestion.

1. Display notification using Xrm.Page.ui.setFormNotification().

2. Use SetTimeout() to trigger another function after 1 sec.

3. Make the REST Call.

4. Check the Status of the REST Call and if still waiting, clear and update the notification (I used dots)

5. Once the REST Call is complete, you can clear the notification.

Thanks Aiden.

But I dont know how to pop the gif on the page so user can only see that gif and not able to select any thing in form or edit a field.
