Valence.util.download - callback function?

[EvaY]

Is there a way to use a callback with the Valence.util.download function? I'm generating a spreadsheet (using Valence.util.download) that takes a little time to create and I'd like to display a friendly message to the user that disappears when the download is finished.

Thanks,
Eva

EvaY,
could you not call a normal Ext.Ajax request to actually create your excel spreadsheet....and then in the callback of the ext.ajax request, call the Valence.util.download to actually download the spreadsheet.
I am doing that in several instances and it works well.

Ext.Ajax.request({
   url: '/Valence/vvcall.pgm,
   parms: { whatever parms needed to create the spreadsheet},
   success: function() {
      Valence.util.download(....);
   }
});
