Add Item to Rotator using Client API

[Samuel]

How do you add an item to the rotator client side?
There is a get_items method, but I can't figure out how to add a new item to it.

Hello Samuel,

By design the RadRotator's items are created only on the server, and the control does not offer client-side API for this. As you mentioned, you can get the items only on the client-side (oRotator.get_items()), but you are not allowed to add items by JavaScript.

Kind regards,

Did u add that feature to the new version?

[Schlurk]

Looking over the client-side API page there doesn't seem like there is a method for adding new items via the client-side. The Rotator still needs to generate all of its items on the server-side, so it would seem that adding items via the client-side would be very complicated.

Hello Schlurk,

Adding items client-side feature is in our ToDo list and we will do our best to implement it for the upcoming Q2 2010 release, scheduled for the middle of July.

i was able to do that by using RadXmlHttpPanel and putting the rotator inside it.By doing that i was able to load items into rotator without reloading the page
