Determine moment when all lookup fields are loaded

that shouldn't be a problem, the value is set in a hidden html field before the caption is loaded, the lookup is loading the caption, the value is there already and it's being passed to the server to get the caption you can experiment with the demo, on this page: http://localhost/AwesomeMvcDemo put a Thread.Sleep in ChefLookupController.GetItem and try editing/creating a few meals ( in the ajaxlist on the bottom )

Sorry, but just to be sure: is this actual for MultiLookupfield too? Seems like ML consists of (a) hidden input with value="[1,2,3,4]", (b) a checkbox input with the same name and (c) multiple hidden inputs with actual values (keys). As the control starts to load, there's only (a) input and it's disabled (should it be?) ,so if user submits a form while control is loading, nothing is submitted. If we manually enable this control, the default MVC model binder cannot understand the brackets [] anyway. So only after items have been loaded, multilookup can produce valid submit values?

it works for the multilookup as well, you can try it in the demo solution, in MealsMultiLookupController.GetItems add Thread.Sleep(5000) before return Json, build it and on homepage try editing items in the ajaxlist on the bottom of the page, open the edit popup for an item and wait for it load, edit the Meals field and click Ok instantly, you'll notice that the values in the ajaxlist are updated correctly; atm there will be confusion if you open the edit form and hit ok instantly before the multilookup is loaded, but we will fix this for the next release
