Disabling the indication that a page or shape is loading

When data linked to a page or shape is retrieved in Visual Overview, an indication can be displayed that the page is loading. In some cases, this can be inconvenient, for example when a shape is linked to a parameter that may or may not exist. Therefore, it is possible to use the EnableLoading option to determine whether this is indicated for a page or for a particular shape.

To do so, add a shape data field of type Options to the page or to the shape, and set its value either to EnableLoading=True to enable the indication that it is loading or to EnableLoading=False to disable it.

Shape data field	Value
Options	EnableLoading=True or EnableLoading=False

Examples:

• To make sure no "loading" indication is shown for a shape linked to a parameter that might not exist, add a shape data field of type Options to the shape in question, and set its value to EnableLoading=False.

• To make sure the "loading" indication is only displayed for one particular shape on a page, do the following:

  • Add a shape data field of type Options to the page, and set its value to EnableLoading=False.

  • Add a shape data field of type Options to the shape, and set its value to EnableLoading=True.
