Hi Everyone, I have been trying to find a solution for an issue where in I need to display a Query Refreshing Message in my Design Studio application. My datasource in UNX Universe against a universe developed on top of Oracle backend.
When user selects a different value in Drop down I am triggering 4 queries in OnSelect event. Query refreshes fine and everything looks good. But the query refresh time is almost 6-7 seconds. Design studio by default doesn't display any message that the query is refreshing. As it does in Xcelsius dashboards where the mouse pointer spins. This was an option in query properties of xcelsius. I do no find any similar option in query properties of Design Studio Data Sources. Users are confused if the selection they made is refreshing the values or not. Since the query refresh time is 6-7 seconds minimum.
I was searching around for the solution and saw some posts on Timer component. Though I understand it is for Query refreshing what I did was, as a work around in the OnSelect of Drop down I included a statement Text_1.setVisible(true); (text_1 is the component that has message Query is refreshing based on your selected values). Then in the Technical Components -> Timer component set the timer interval to 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds) and in its On Timer properties I write a code Text_1.setVisible(false); My assumption was if for every 2 seconds it can refresh a query why not close a component also. But this does not seem to work.
Timer is only loading a data source for the specified time interval but not altering a component properties. Some of the blogs I have referred to get help on Timer component are:

I understand that this thread is more on Timer component for query refreshing but I am thinking will it not close a component also. Please let me know if any of you have any suggestions.
