APEX 5 has a nifty nice enhancement to the use of apex.widget.waitPopup. It now returns a “remove” function you can call to remove the wait indicator.

// Start the page overlay
setTimeout(function(){
$wP = apex.widget.waitPopup();
}, 10);

$wP = apex.widget.waitPopup();

}, 10);

// do long running "stuff"

// remove overlay and indicator

$wP.remove();

The Details I’ve used apex.widget.waitPopup many times. You simply call it like this:…
