Like all Telerik controls, the rotator has a rich client API. It has many client side functions which allow the developer to achieve their goal. This example illustrates how to use the FromCode rotator type. Here are the API functions we use

  • showNext(direction) - scrolls the rotator in the specified direction and shows the next frame. The direction parameter must be of type Telerik.Web.UI.RotatorScrollDirection.
  • get_frameDuration() - gets the currentrotator frame duration
  • DefaultVB.aspx
  • scripts.js
  • styles.css
  • news.xml
