 Knowing when a report is about to be displayed | Post a Reply |
from: Philadelphia, PA
We were wondering if there is any way to know when a report is about to be displayed?.......by testing a request variable for instance. I know you format javascript as part of your function. Perhaps a hidden form variable could alert the ASP page that a report is about to be displayed.
We ask because we would like to embed your object in a <div> tag that is invisible until the page loads completely. The displayed <div> will contain an "in progress" gif. Some of your reports are very big and this would give the user a better experience.
Thanks for the great work on this tool.

DisplayReports procedure. And example will be as follows: <%
Response.Buffer = False
Dim objWiz, strConn
strConn = [Your Connection String]
Set objWiz = Server.CreateObject("AspWebSolution.ReportWizard2")
With objWIz
.HideProcedures = True
.UsePopupFilters = True
'.MaxRecords = 600
End WIth
'Make sure you initialize before adding any HTML text
objWiz.Init(strConn)
%>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Repoprts</title>
</head>
<body scroll="auto">
<img name="preload">
<script>
document.images["preload"].src="loading.gif";
</script>
<%
'put this where you want your reports
objWiz.DisplayReports
%>
<script>
document.images["preload"].src="pixel.gif";
</script>
</body>
</html>
<%
Set objWiz = Nothing
%> You can download both images from the links below:

Note that this might reduce performance ...

Am I not correct?
I think I would need to know only when it was about to produce a report...which takes the most time.

<%
Dim bPreload
If Request.Form.Count>0 Then
bPreload=True
Else
If Request.QueryString("rid")<>"" Then
bPreload=True
Else
bPreload=False
End If
End If
If bPreload Then
Response.Write("<script>document.images[""preload""].src=""loading.gif"";</script>")
End If
objWiz.DisplayReports
If bPreload Then
Response.Write("<script>document.images[""preload""].src=""pixel.gif"";</script>")
End If
