Waiting while app fetches data from web server

**Infms** · 2013-01-29, 17:27

Hi all,

What would be the best way to let a user know that my application is currently fetching data from a web server (and hence they need to wait)? I see that Netbeans has both Alert and WaitScreen. Which is more suitable?

Lastly, how can I make this screen disappear automatically once the data has been successfully retrieved?

Many thanks.

A "Please wait screen" is more ideal. We already have multiple discussions on how to implement this.
