basic problem : stop the rotator

[Jon]

Hi,

This is probably really quick and simple but I couldn't see an answer.

My rotator displays two entries at a time.  I need to say that if the count is less than 3 don't rotate.  at teh moment the rotation still occurs and as such the two items switch place which looks a bit stupid.

Is there some way of setting the rotator to not rotate.  Obviously I could set the frame duration to some silly value to get around this. 

I need to do this from the code behind.

Regards,

Jon

Hi Jon,

One suggestion is you can stop the Rotator when the number of items is less than 3 from clientside as shown below. Attach OnClientLoad event to RadRotator.

JavaScript:

function OnClientLoad(sender, args) {

    itemCount = sender.get_items().length;
    if (itemCount<3)
    {
        sender.stop();
    }
}

Hi Shinu,

Good timing with that one , I'd just come up with a server side work around.  When there is less than 3 items I just set the rotator type to FromCode and obviosly I don't have the code implemented to advance the items. 

In my case the better solution is the server code given that I do the databinding at the server but for a vanilla rotator with no code behind stuff I think your solution would be better.

Many thanks,

Jon
