If you use a pager - there is a such function - if no records we put usually at botom right of the grid - No records to view.

For example, if no results are returned, it would be helpful to display something like "No Records Found." in the center of the screen. This way the user knows that the the grid is finished processing, and that the empty table is what is supposed to be displayed.

It's already possible to do things like adjust the caption in the onLoad event-handler,  however, this doesn't always stand-out and could easily be over-looked by the user.

While it's possible to abuse the progress indicator to do this, e.g.:

             loadComplete: function () {

                if (this.p.records === 0) {

                    setTimeout(function () {

                        $("#load_search-results-datagrid").show().text("No Matches Found.");

                    }, 500);

                }

             }

This isn't a very elegant solution to the problem.

Any possibility to include a method to display some text to the user in a manner similar to the progress indicator?

Thanks!
