Move Group of Items

[Zeeshan]

Hi

i want to move three items at a time using RotatorType="FromCode". I am able to rotate only one item at a time. but i need it for three items. please if possible give this functionality in control as a property like "NumberOFItemsToRotate". so that User can put the Number of items he/she wants to rotate. but  for now please tell me how can i achieve this i m stuck with it.

Hi Zeeshan,

Thank you for the suggestion - we will consider implementing that functionality in the RadRotator control. For the time being, you can achieve the desired result by grouping the items in the DataSource. For example if you have a XMLDatasource, you can group the items as follows :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<quotes>
  <quoterProperties>
    <quote2>
      Simple Text 1
    </quote2>
    <quote1>
      Simple Text 2
    </quote1>
  </quoterProperties>
...................

Then you can declare the following template and you will get two items to be rotated at the same time :

<ItemTemplate>
    <div style="width: 350px; height: 20px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #fff;">
        <%# XPath("quote1")%>
        <%# XPath("quote2")%>
    </div>
</ItemTemplate>

i hope this helps.
