Detect Loading

Posted on by 266

Hi, just a simple question: 

Is there any way to detect loading in PowerApps? I mean, the dots on the top of the screen when PowerApps is working with something.

I would like to constrain the user to wait until PowerApps finish doing something in the background.

Cheers!

    Not that I'm aware of. What I've done and seen most others do is to use a timer control and disable controls while the timer is running

    In addition to what @jlindstrom said, you can use a Pop up to prevent users until everything is done. Check this video
