Hello -

I'm working on a new grid screen in my channel. While testing I noticed that the "Retrieving" message does not always appear, sometimes the screen just stays blank until content loads, other times "Retrieving" appears for the few seconds before content loads. I'm trying to figure out what's triggering this inconsistency but I have no clue at this point, the same exact selection will produce different results two times in a row. Any ideas?

I'm not sure what causes the behavior you're seeing, and I'm not sure if it helps, but you can force the "Retrieving..." text by calling screen.ShowMessage("Retrieving...") while you're loading the content. You can also, of course, replace that with whatever text you want.

Thank you TheEndless!
that works perfectly. Now I see "Retrieving..." 100% of the time while it's loading the grid content.
