If someone can help me figure out how to get this working, I'd appreciate it very much: I have a button that runs a client script that performs a search. However, when someone clicks the button, it just sits there with the button looking like it's been pressed. Is there a way to have a popup stating "search is running" then it executes the search? I've tried several different options, but the popup always comes up after the function has finished running.

function calcDiscount(){
    showPopup();
    console.log('the search is running');
    //  SEARCH RUNS HERE AND TAKES ABOUT 30 SECONDS, BUT POPUP SHOWS ONLY AFTER THE SEARCH IS DONE RUNNING
}

function showPopup(){
    Ext.Msg.show({
        title: 'hello',
        msg: 'testing',
        width: 300,
        wait: false
    });
}

use alert("Search is running") instead of the "showPopup()" line.

@battk. I have some other operations happening after the search as well. 😕 @NickSuite alert() halts execution of the rest of the script, until I click OK. I was able to get Ext.msg.show() to do similar, but it doesn't execute the function until after OK is clicked.

Thanks. I will take a look at this. I appreciate it!
