Hi ,

Is there a way we can show loading screen in MS CRM 365. i followed the below blog

https://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/salimadamondynamicscrm/archive/2013/01/22/creating-a-loading-panel-in-dynamics-crm-forms

This method is not working in CRM 365 V8 , is there any other way to show the loading screen till the Action's business logic execution gets completed.

The method you link to is not a supported method. And the reason it's not working, is likely because it's not supported and something has changed between versions.

You'll probably be able to fix it with a new unsupoorted method, but in the upcoming versions it will likely break again.

You can try one alternative .On Trigger of Action from button ,Pop up a html window with waiting bar (use CSS or JS) and disable Parent window ie CRM window .Once your Action is complete ,close the Pop up and enable parent .

Hi pradeep in new version we have inbuilt feature for this. Use the below code to show progress bar

You can try using alert.js.

The have several methods for doing this.

Take a look at alert.showLoading. I think that is what you would be looking for.

github.com/.../alertjs

Alert.js, has some unsupported customizations as it is using the dom, but has been working for the last 4 or more CRM versions, and has a lot of users that actually use it, so I believe it will be updated as MS changes things in their releases.

If you are trying to make an AppSource app, alert.js will break your process, so this is not the right solution if you need to build an app.

Except for that, great solution.

Hope this helps.
