How the UpdateProgress controls should not fire when the list index is -1?

[meeram395]

In my form, I have Update Panels and also Update Progress Controls. I want the UpdateProgress controls should not fire and shows the text "Loading..." when the SelectedIndex is -1. Is it possible to do so? If so, how? :zzz: Anybody can provide any help on this? Thanks in advance. Following is the code I have written:

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="UserTypeList" runat="server" AppendDataBoundItems="true"
Width="155px">
<asp:ListItem Selected="True" Text="--Please Select--" Value="-1"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:UpdateProgress ID="UpdateProgress1" AssociatedUpdatePanelID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" >
<ProgressTemplate><span class="ProgressBar" >
Loading...</span>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

Success is the good fortune that comes from aspiration, desperation, perspiration and inspiration.

It seems NO, you can set 'Loading' text to 'UpdateProgress'. it will display 'Loading' when the page is loading... check out this

Give an id for the span say "spanProgress" Add handlers for beginrequest and endrequest Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_beginRequest(onBeginRequest); Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(onEndRequest); function onBeginRequest() { //add your logic for checking SelectedIndex == -1 and then hide the span //by setting document.getElementById("spanProgress").style.display="none"; } function onEndRequest() { //enable the span here }
