"Blackout" of the grid while loading a data

TDBGridEh allows you to "black out" (dim) grid while loading data. This allows you to show the user that a melon time DataSet loads data from the server. Grid in the dark makes a smooth transition from the standard picture to a darkened and back. Use StartLoadingStatus FinishLoadingStatus methods to display the status of downloading and reset it back respectively.

You can call methods that reload the data in DataSet between calls to these methods.

StartLoadingStatus and FinishLoadingStatus procedures have the following parameters:

procedure StartLoadingStatus(
const LoadingCaption : String = ''; // Text for Downloading status
RenderDuration: Integer = -1 // Duration of the transition state
);

procedure FinishLoadingStatus(
RenderDuration: Integer = -1 // Duration of the transition state
);
