How to show Busy Indicator while loading data in MAUI DataGrid?
The .NET MAUI DataGrid(SfDataGrid) allows you to show a SfBusyIndicator while loading Data in DataGrid. The busy indicator can be enabled and disabled by using IsRunning property.
C#
In behavior class set ViewModel.IsLoading property value to true and false based items generation using loaded event.
public class MainPageBehavior : Behavior<ContentPage> { SfDataGrid dataGrid; ViewModel viewModel; protected override void OnAttachedTo(ContentPage bindable) { base.OnAttachedTo(bindable); dataGrid = bindable.FindByName<SfDataGrid>("dataGrid"); viewModel = (ViewModel)bindable.BindingContext; dataGrid.Loaded += DataGrid_Loaded; } private async void DataGrid_Loaded(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.viewModel.IsLoading = true; await Task.Delay(6000); this.viewModel.GenerateOrders(); this.viewModel.IsLoading = false; } protected override void OnDetachingFrom(ContentPage bindable) { base.OnDetachingFrom(bindable); dataGrid = null; viewModel = null; dataGrid.Loaded -= DataGrid_Loaded; } }
XAML
Bind the value of ViewModel.IsLoading property to SfBusyIndicator.IsRunning property to enable or disable busy indicator into the view until items loaded in the view.
