I have a custom control (a listbox) which gets programmatically filled with data. In any screen, there is some kind of a "loading mask", which shows up while the data is being fetched. Is there any chance to use this feature in Beta 1?
If you are trying to show the spinner while the data is loading there is a control you can wrap you custom control in. It is the CancellableContentControl. This has a property called ExecutableObject this gets set to the Choices.Loader.

Hey, I tried to do the offered solution but was unable to! Can you please be more specific? I have tried creating a CancellableContentControl which has another control that implements IExecutable as its ExecutableObject, however Execute/AsyncExecute are
never called! do I need to call them myself? can you please include a code example of usage? Thanks!
I believe so. I have a similar situation whereby I have a control which implements IExcutable and could not figure out how to make it give me an execute method like a button does. I then realized that the button has a SupportedContentItemKind
of Command. This would negate using that way as I don't think you can have 2 SupportedContentItemKind 's. So I cast it as IExecutable and Call the execute method myself.
