Reusing Microsoft's Processing screen for custom async Javascript functions

Hi all,

Not sure if this is possible but I've added a few command bar buttons along with custom javascript web resources that trigger on field change. The problem is that a few of them uses the web API to run custom async functions but users can't see the async function running.

For example I've added a custom command button that resolves cases without the pop out dialogue box. The problem is that even with a refresh and save function that runs after the function is completed, a user can still accidently click the resolve button twice and get a error. Is there a method to lock then from interacting with anything on the screen kind of like the processing svg that shows when I for example delete a record?

Can I use that same svg spinning icon? How would I lock the form temporarily until a function has finished processing?

Hi,

You can use following code when execution of your javascript started

Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator("Processing....");

On the success call you can use it like below

function success(result) {

///your code

Xrm.Utility.closeProgressIndicator();

}
