# Class Ext.LoadMask

Package: | Ext
Defined In: | LoadMask.js
Class: | LoadMask
Extends: | Object

A simple utility class for generically masking elements while loading data. If the store config option is specified, the masking will be automatically synchronized with the store's loading process and the mask element will be cached for reuse. For all other elements, this mask will replace the element's Updater load indicator and will be destroyed after the initial load.

Example usage:

    // Basic mask:
    var myMask = new Ext.LoadMask(Ext.getBody(), {msg:"Please wait..."});
    myMask.show();
