Display a waiting gif during a javascript function

I write a script to get a text file, to modify this texter file and then I import the file in our software.
The problem is that the import of the file is very slow (just this part of the script could take more than 1 minute sometime).
I would like to display a waiting gif during this process, so the user can see that the process is running, and he need to wait.
Some precision:
- It's only a javascript file with no html page
- The script is launched with a button in our software and I have access to ActiveXObject if necessary
Here is a sample code :
function importFec()
{
var iOpenDlg = 1;
var sPath = "Deskop";
var sTypes = "Fichier Texte (*.txt)|*.txt";
var sExt = "txt";
//Allow me to select a file in Windows
cheminFEC = fileDialog(iOpenDlg, sPath, sTypes, sExt);
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var ForReading = 1;
var f1 = fso.OpenTextFile(cheminFEC, ForReading);
var texte = f1.ReadAll();
var tableauFEC = [];
var tableauTest = [];
tableauFEC = texte.split(/\r\n/);
tableauTest = tableauFEC[0].split("\t");
var delimiter = "\t";
if (tableauTest.length == 1)
{
tableauTest = tableauFEC[0].split("|");
var delimiter = "|";
}
var nbColonne = tableauTest.length;
for (var i=0;i<tableauFEC.length;i++)
{
var tab = tableauFEC[i].split(delimiter);
tableauFEC[i] = new Array(25);
for (var j=0;j<nbColonne;j++)
{
tableauFEC[i][j] = tab[j];
}
}
//Make some change in the table to adapt my texte file
//Then create a new texte file C:\\FichierFEC\\FECModifie.txt
createNewFEC(tableauFEC);
var cwfConfiguration = Application.ApplicationInfo("ProgramPath")+"\\Library\\ImportFEC\\ImportFEC23032017.vgl"
var oImport = Import(ipASCII)
oImport.ImportComponents = CWImportComponents.icGeneralLedger
oImport.ASCIILayoutFile = cwfConfiguration
oImport.ASCIIDataFile = "C:\\FichierFEC\\FECModifie.txt"
//This is the function which take a long moment to execute
oImport.RunImport()
}
Thanks for your answer and explanation

I finnaly found another solution.
At the beggining of my script, I launch a .hta file with a GIF and a small texte.
At the end of my script, I close the .hta file
Thanks

Call to database from Javascript in aspx page

I have a gridview using devexpress tools that is populated on page load. When I select a row I have button that will allow me to edit the information in that row by popping up an edit box that allows me to change the information. The issue I am having is when they click that button the data that was behind the gridivew could have changed so I want to be able to query the database again (using some parameters from the selected row) when that edit button is clicked.
Here is the query that is ran when the 'edit' button is clicked.
function ShowPopupEditInventory() {
$.when(getFocusedInventory()).then(function (x) {
popupControlEditInventory.Show();
});
function getFocusedInventory(s, e) {
grid.GetRowValues(grid.GetFocusedRowIndex(), 'StorageLocation;LP;Sku_Alpha;LotCode;ExpirationDate;FIFOReferenceDate;ManufactureDate;InventoryStatus;SellableUnitQuantity;ReceiveDate;InventoryDetailID;Area', getFocusedInventoryValues);
}
function getFocusedInventoryValues(values) {
var fStorageLocation = values[0];
var fLP = values[1];
var fSku_Alpha = values[2];
var fLotCode = values[3];
var fExpirationDate = values[4];
var fFIFOReferenceDate = values[5];
var fManufactureDate = values[6];
var fInventoryStatus = values[7];
var fSellableUnitQuantity = values[8];
var fReceiveDate = values[9];
var fInventoryDetailID = values[10];
var fArea = values[11];
editInventoryStorageLocation.SetText(fStorageLocation);
editInventoryLP.SetText(fLP);
editInventoryItem.SetText(fSku_Alpha);
editInventoryQty_OldValue.SetText(fSellableUnitQuantity);
editInventorySts_OldValue.SetText(fInventoryStatus);
editInventoryLot_OldValue.SetText(fLotCode);
txtEditInventoryLot.SetText(fLotCode);
$(".editInventoryLot").val(fLotCode);
editInventoryStatus.SetValue(fInventoryStatus)
editInventoryUnitQuantity.SetText(fSellableUnitQuantity);
editInventoryDTL_No.SetText(fInventoryDetailID);
editInventoryNotes.SetText('');
$(".editInventoryAdjustmentCode").prop("selectedIndex", 0);
editInventoryArea.SetText(fArea);
editInventoryLot.Focus();
btnOKEditInventory.SetEnabled(true);
}
}

How to create an Enterprise custom field programmatically for Project Server

I want a Sharepoint 2013 app to create programmatically an Enterprise Custom Field when it runs for the first time.
I fiddled around with the following code snippet, but it's not working
var projContext = PS.ProjectContext.get_current();
function AddCustomField() {
$('#message').text('Adding Custom Field...');
var object_to_add = new PS.CustomFieldCreationInformation();
object_to_add.FieldType = CustomFieldType.Text;
object_to_add.Name = "New_one";
object_to_add.Description = "test description";
projContext.CustomFieldCollection.add(object_to_add);
}
Any help would be appreciated!

var projContext = PS.ProjectContext.get_current();
var fieldType = PS.CustomFieldType.TEXT;
var customfields = projContext.get_customFields();
var entityTypes = projContext.get_entityTypes();
var projEntity = entityTypes.get_projectEntity();
var resourceEntity = entityTypes.get_resourceEntity();
var taskEntity = entityTypes.get_taskEntity();
projContext.load(customfields);
projContext.load(entityTypes);
projContext.load(projEntity);
projContext.load(resourceEntity);
projContext.load(taskEntity);
projContext.executeQueryAsync(QuerySucceeded, QueryFailed);
CreateField("Test", "Test", fieldType, projEntity);
function CreateField(name, description, fieldtype, entitytype) {
var customfieldInfo = new PS.CustomFieldCreationInformation();
customfieldInfo.set_description(description);
customfieldInfo.set_name(name);
customfieldInfo.set_fieldType(fieldtype);
customfieldInfo.set_entityType(entitytype);
customfields.add(customfieldInfo);
customfields.update();
projContext.load(customfields);
projContext.executeQueryAsync(QuerySucceeded, QueryFailed);
}

Using JavaScript in Google Scripts to transfer information to spreadsheet, but spreadsheet shows undefined

I am using Google Scripts UiApp in order to gather availability information. I want to send this information to a spreadsheet. I have used the example here: http://www.googleappsscript.org/advanced-examples/insert-data-in-sheet-using-ui-forms
to get me started in the right direction.
The Web App looks good and when clicking submit, the appropriate message displays. However, the values that are transferred to the spreadsheet say "undefined" for all of the entries.
How can I convince it to link the textbox entered data to the variables so that I can transfer to the spreadsheet?
Thanks!!
Here is some code:
var submissioSSKey = // Key removed
function doGet() {
var rows = 15
var columns = 15
var mygrid = UiApp.createApplication().setTitle("MLC Walk Ins Scheduling")
var panel = mygrid.createSimplePanel();
// Define the grid layout
var grid = mygrid.createGrid(rows, columns).setCellPadding(2).setCellSpacing(8)
// Create the text at the top
var Title = mygrid.createLabel("Walk-In Scheduling")
grid.setWidget(1, 1, Title)
(snip) - creating various checkboxes and textboxes
var text1 = mygrid.createTextBox().setName('name1')
grid.setWidget(3,9,text1)
var text6 = mygrid.createTextBox().setName('message1')
grid.setWidget(4,9,text6)
// Create the "submit" button
var submit_button = mygrid.createButton("Submit")
grid.setWidget(12,9,submit_button)
var infoLabel = mygrid.createLabel('Availability inserted successfully.').setVisible(false).setId('info');
grid.setWidget(13,9,infoLabel)
var handler = mygrid.createServerClickHandler('insertInSS');
handler.addCallbackElement(panel);
submit_button.addClickHandler(handler);
panel.add(grid);
mygrid.add(panel);
mygrid.add(grid);
return mygrid
}
Then the function call for the button:
//Function to insert data in the sheet on clicking the submit button
function insertInSS(e){
var mygrid = UiApp.getActiveApplication()
var name1 = e.parameter.name1
var message1 = e.parameter.message1
mygrid.getElementById('info').setVisible(true).setStyleAttribute('color','blue')
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(submissioSSKey).getActiveSheet()
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow()
var targetRange = sheet.getRange(lastRow+1, 1, 1, 2).setValues([[name1,message1]])
return mygrid
}

Ahh! A simple fix for a big headache.
I had an extra line:
mygrid.add(grid);
that was breaking it.

How to add a duplicate panel in google apps script?

I am wondering how to add a duplicate panel underneath the previous existing panel ("productOtherPanel") using the "Add Product" button. I would like the new panel to be inserted below the existing "productOtherPanel" and above the "Add Product" button. I would also like this new panel to contain the same drop down list and text box as the original "productOtherPanel". I need this panel to duplicate an infinite number of times. Is this possible?
function doGet(e) {
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
var productOtherPanel = app.createHorizontalPanel().setId('productOtherPanel');
var productPanel = app.createVerticalPanel().setId('productPanel');
var productList = app.createListBox().setName("productList").setId('productList');
productList.addItem("8:1 Compressed Blocks");
productList.addItem("8:1 Compressed Briquettes");
var pricePerTonPanel = app.createVerticalPanel().setId('pricePerTonPanel');
var pricePerTonTextBox = app.createTextBox().setId("pricePerTonTextBox").setName("pricePerTonTextBox")
.setText("$0.00");
var buttonPanel = app.createVerticalPanel().setId('buttonPanel');
var button = app.createButton("Add Product");
app.add(productOtherPanel);
productOtherPanel.add(productPanel);
productPanel.add(productList);
productOtherPanel.add(pricePerTonPanel);
pricePerTonPanel.add(pricePerTonTextBox);
app.add(buttonPanel);
buttonPanel.add(button);
return app;
}

Try to see if this code is what you are looking for:
function doGet(e) {
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
var productOtherPanel = app.createVerticalPanel().setId('productOtherPanel');
var productPanel = app.createHorizontalPanel().setId('productPanel');
// Product list dropdown
var productList = app.createListBox().setName("productList").setId('productList');
productList.addItem("8:1 Compressed Blocks");
productList.addItem("8:1 Compressed Briquettes");
// Product Price Textbox
var pricePerTonTextBox = app.createTextBox().setId("pricePerTonTextBox").setName("pricePerTonTextBox").setText("$0.00");
productPanel.add(productList);
productPanel.add(pricePerTonTextBox);
var buttonPanel = app.createVerticalPanel().setId('buttonPanel');
var button = app.createButton("Add Product");
button.addClickHandler(app.createServerHandler("addProductHandler").addCallbackElement(productOtherPanel));
app.add(productOtherPanel);
productOtherPanel.add(productPanel);
app.add(buttonPanel);
buttonPanel.add(button);
return app;
}
function addProductHandler(e) {
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var productPanel = app.createHorizontalPanel().setId('productPanel');
// Product list dropdown
var productList = app.createListBox().setName("productList").setId('productList');
productList.addItem("8:1 Compressed Blocks");
productList.addItem("8:1 Compressed Briquettes");
// Product Price Textbox
var pricePerTonTextBox = app.createTextBox().setId("pricePerTonTextBox").setName("pricePerTonTextBox").setText("$0.00");
productPanel.add(productList);
productPanel.add(pricePerTonTextBox);
var panel = app.getElementById("productOtherPanel");
panel.add(productPanel);
return app;
}
