Event on sap.m.SearchField suggest() rendering complete

[Former Member]

I have a sap.m.SearchField bound to a JSONModel with over 200 items. After triggering .suggest() on the SeachField object, there's a delay before the suggestions are rendered. I'd like to show a busy indicator before .suggest() and then hide the busy indicator once the rendering of the suggestions list is complete. So, is there an event on the SearchField I can listen for to hide the busy indicator?

There is an event called 'suggest'. Did you try with that.

Of course. The suggest event is triggered when the SearchField is focused or the searchValue changes.

I'm calling .suggest() within my onSearchFieldSuggest(oEvent) handler.

The SearchField is a little tricky, since the suggest() method toggles visibility of the suggestions list. What I would like to be able to do is display a busy indicator after calling suggest(true), then hide the busy indicator once the suggestion list is actually rendered.
