How to change state in spry when filter is selected

Report · May 28, 2008

Hello,

I'd like to find a way to change the region state when a filter is applied to it. I am using an XML data set that is large and when a filter is selected there is a noticeable delay. I would like the Loading state to appear when a filter is selected or at least hide the region till it is done. Anyone know how to do this? I have tried a number of methods and have not been successful.

Thanks!

David

The XML data set inherits certain notification events from the DataSet class. Take a look at the DataSet Observer sample page:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/DataSetObserver.html

One of the buttons performs a filter and uses the onDataChanged event to notify the observer. In your observer you could perform some action when the filter is applied.
