    Hello,



    You can customize the item by using adding controls in ItemTemplate section.

    A sample mark-up is shown:
    <telerik:RadRotator ID="RadRotator1" runat="server"
         Width="748px" ItemWidth="150" ScrollDirection="Left, Right" Height="233px" ItemHeight="113"
         ScrollDuration="500" FrameDuration="2000" PauseOnMouseOver="false" RotatorType="CoverFlow"
         InitialItemIndex="4" OnClientItemShown="OnClientItemShown" OnClientItemClicked="OnClientItemClicked"
         CssClass="RemoveRotatorBorder">
         <ItemTemplate>
             <asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# Container.DataItem %>' />
             <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("CategoryName") %>'></asp:Label>
         </ItemTemplate>
     </telerik:RadRotator>

    More information: CoverFlow Mode

    Hello Shinu,
    You can review our car rental demo application as well - http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/carrental. In this application, we are using a Label control in the ItemTemplate of RadRotator. Even though in the application we are using a rotator in Carousel mode, you can use the same idea for the ItemTemplate with a rotator in CoverFlow mode.

    Thanks, it works; but the texts are overlapping each other. Is there a way to show the text only for the current item?
    I was thinking about using OnClientItemShown, so I could display the texts outside the rotator for full customization, but I can't find in the help how to retrieve the dataitem of the current item...

    Hello jc,

    You can use the approach show in this code library in order ti get reference to the elements in the rotator's ItemTemplate.

    Kind regards,

    Thanks, I've been able to do what I wanted to, except that it doesn't work in IE6 :(
    Your getWrapperElement:

    function getWrapperElement(rotatorItem)  
    {  
        var itemElem = rotatorItem.get_element();  
        var wrapper = itemElem.firstChild;  
        return wrapper;  
    }  

    returns null in IE6... ??
    EDIT: it works now, probably my mistake
