Progress bar?

Hi there,

My app is doing some very heavy lifting in the back-end.

Do anyone know if there is a widget or control that I could
use for a good looking progress bar (instead of the default "Loading...")?

Thanks,
/Patrik

Orbeon Forms doesn't automatically create a progress bar. You can  
create one yourself though by calling your service with  
mode="asynchronous" on the <xforms:submission>. Then you call another  
service you need to create at regular intervals (polling with  
<xforms:dispatch delay="..."/>) that tells you where you are in the  
process to update the progress bar. Yes, it's some work; but it's  
interesting work.

Otherwise you can use a modal trigger (http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-xforms-extensions#modal-trigger 
). It is designed to prevent users from interacting with the form when  
you do something in the background, but it can also be used as a sign  
to users that something that is taking a bit of time is going on.
