Preloader Application on first load and on View switches #201

Closed rdaggett closed 11 years ago

rdaggett commented 11 years ago

Hi there, I was wondering if there is a current way to add a loading message when switching views? I also noticed that the splash is deprecated, but I do need a pre-loader when the application is first loading. So having a pre-loader on first load and loading message when switching views would be nice to have included in this framework or is there a current workaround for this functionality?

Thanks

Closing this issue, I found that you can indeed use a pre-loader in transitioning views.

silverelf can you share how you were able to work around this?
Thanks

What I did was I customized the dojox/layout/ContentPane pre-loading message by overwriting the css that is attached to that and loading my pages through the ContentPane. I am not sure if there is a different or more efficient way of doing this. But I am still working on other ways of implementing this into my desktop application.

But it would be nice to have that integrated into the framework. I believe there was a splash screen which no longer supported. But I am currently looking the "transit" : "my/app/transit" in the dojox/app framework.
