Show progress indicator not appearing when I run my code

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MBaba 92

Hello,

I hope someone can help me with my problem.

I created a javascript that calls a process to run a plugin, meanwhile, I added

Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator("Processing..."); to show a loading screen as the plugin executes.

I will add an attachment of my code so you may see where I am showing and closing the progress indicator.
The problem is that the code was working fine and suddenly it stopped showing the progress indicator.
I tried to debug my to check the error but Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator("Processing..."); is returning undefined and I guess it is working.
I hope someone can help me and assist me to show the progress bar indicator.
I am showing the progress indicator on line 2.
Closing it on lines 52 and 98.

    Not sure if you have resolved this issue. The first problem appears to be the logic of the code itself. As the debugger shows, setting the "res" variable to the "showProgressIndicator" statement means "res" will always be undefined. So the While loop never starts.

    Similar to the OP's issue, the second problem has to do with the indicator displaying; but my problem was the indicator started only after the plugin logic finished.

    To get around this, I wrapped the main logic of the JavaScript in the setTimeout callback. I put the "closeIndicator" function in the plugin request callback as part of the main function logic.
     
    function CallCustomActionFromJavaScript(primaryControl){
debugger;

    Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator("Custom Message");
    setTimeout(mainFunction, 1000);
    
    function mainFunction(){}
}

    Hello Abdul Wahab ,

    Thank you for your help.

    I have already read these blogs and checked them, yet its still not working.

    As you can see in my GIF it is returning undefined, as it should, but the loading UI is not appearing.

    Thank you!

    Hi MZB,

    The progress dialogue blocks the UI until it is closed using the closeProgressIndicator method. So, you must use this method with caution. For more details:
