Getting Started with TMS FNC Waiting Indicator

Use TTMSFNCWaitingIndicator to show that work is still running when the duration is unknown. It can animate by itself or draw an overlay over its parent while active.

Show and Hide the Indicator

  1. Drop a TTMSFNCWaitingIndicator on the form or on the panel that contains the busy region.
  2. Configure AnimationSpeed, Appearance, and OverlayParent.
  3. Set Active to True before the work starts and back to False when it finishes.
procedure TForm1.StartLoading;
begin
  TMSFNCWaitingIndicator1.OverlayParent := True;
  TMSFNCWaitingIndicator1.AnimationSpeed := 1.0;
  TMSFNCWaitingIndicator1.Active := True;
end;

procedure TForm1.FinishLoading;
begin
  TMSFNCWaitingIndicator1.Active := False;
end;
