Showing a "loading" message for long operations
Forgive me if this is obvious or pointed out in docs but I cannot find any mention of it.
in my app when they select an option, there is a http fetch operation that takes at least a few seconds. I want to display a "loading" message while this happens so they dont' click over and over...
how is this done?
the only thread I found that mentioned this said to use screen.ShowMessage("Retrieving..."), but not sure how to use it. I tried m.screen.ShowMessage("Retrieving...") and received the error:
Interface not a member of BrightScript Component (runtime error &hf3)
which I assume means I'm using it incorrectly. can someone point me to the docs or more info on the correct way to do this?
many thanks
