Hi,
I am using oracle apex 5.0.2.00.07 with theme: Universal Theme - 42. I have a button, names 'SEARCH' which function is to submit the page. On the page submit, I want to disable the screen and have a wait icon appear in the middle. Currently I submit the page and a wait icon appears, but the page is not disabled which means that the user can hit the submit page or any other button on the screen.
I have tried with a direct url link:
javascript:apex.submit({request:'SEARCH',showWait:true});
After this failed to disable the page, I went to use the dynamic action. Where I set to be used when the button : SEARCH was clicked. On click, the page would be submitted with the value SEARCH. There is an option for show processing. I set this to Yes, and the functionality copied the url link functionality above. I also tried setting it to No just to see what happens, and there was no wait icon on the screen.
I was also reading this post http://rimblas.com/blog/2015/08/enhancement-to-waitpopup-on-apex5/ which says use this function call: apex.widget.waitPopup();.
I used this as well, and I am have the same issue as when I use the first submit function. I looked at an example apex application where the functionality was working, and there is a div overlay element which appears in order to block the page.
So I can only conclude that something is off with the template or function used to do this action. Does anyone know the location of the processing or its function so I can debug this further? Thanks for any help or suggestions.
