Is there any way to turn off the default loading animation and replace it with a custom one? I had a look through the javascript reference but couldn't see any "beginLoading" or "endLoading" type of events that I could hook into on the client side.
You can override .loadingStart and loadingStop on the client side but this is not public API.
You can also modify the loading div content using LoadingLabelText property (it accepts HTML as well).
Thank you Dan.
