Excel/CSV Export Button Callback

[Pardgroup]

Greetings,
I'd like to know if the Excel/CSV button has any sort of callback after the download has started or it has been complete.
I need it because sometimes the time for download the excel (or CSV) are long due to long data processing and I'd like to prompt a waiting dialog.

So basically:

Code: [Select]

           
items:  [{
                        type:       'button',
                        label:      'Export to CSV',
                        icon:       'ui-icon-document',
                        listeners: [{
                            click: function (evt) {
                                $("#grid_json").pqGrid("exportCsv", {
                                    url: "script/mypage.php?id="+id,
                                    sheetName: "My Sheet Name",
                                    [b]complete: function(data) {} or success: function(data){} something like that[/b]
                                });
                            }
                        }]
            }]
     

Thanks in advance.
Best, Pardgroup.

Export process happens in 2 steps:

1. The exported data is posted to the server via AJAX, server saves it and returns the filename.

It's possible to know when 1st step is complete
 
        $( document ).ajaxComplete(function( event, xhr, settings ) {
            debugger;
            if (settings.url == url parameter of export function ){
              alert( 'complete' );
            }
        });

2. The file is downloaded from the server via an iframe.

There is no cross browser way to know when download via 2nd step is complete.

Hope it helps if most of the time is spent in 1st step in your case.
