Hello,
I am looking for a way to show the loading label (and the loading backdrop) programaticaly. I know that I can do it with
args.async = true;
$.dp.message("Loading...");
but I don't have the args variable in my library that fires up the loading process.
I tried to call $.dp.loadingStart() but it not seems to exist. I am working with ver 2182.
dp.message() should work anytime and it doesn't depend on any other variable:
https://api.daypilot.org/daypilot-scheduler-message/
You can also use dp.message.hide() to hide the current message.
There is a built-in "loading" label that doesn't use dp.message() - it's a different element. You can display it using this workaround:
dp.nav.loading.style.display = '';
It will display dp.loadingLabel as the text/html.
You can hide it like this:
dp.nav.loading.style.display = 'none';
But I would stay with dp.message() if possible because this is internal API.
but this method does not show the backdrop layer in order to disable user from further edit the schedule
You can use the following methods to block/onblock the UI using an overlay div:
dp.uiBlock(); dp.uiUnblock();
