Ticker Text Speed increase on RadMenu Item Click

[Stevey]

Hi,

I have implemented a radRotator to display 'news feeds' across the top of the page. this is loading and displaying data correctly from the database. We have also implemented a RadPanelBar which has 3 levels. some items will open a page, and some items will expand the panelbar to display the sub items.

Upon clicking the panelbar which expands to display the sub items (no postback) the radRotator scroll speed keeps on increasing. it increases to a point where it is no longer readable and zooms across the screen.
OnClientItemClicked of the RadPanelBar i have created a simple function as suggested in one of the threads to re-set the rotator speed. However, this does not fix the issue. Any suggestions?

 function SetRotatorSpeed() {
            var rotatorElement = document.getElementById("<%= radRotTickerText.ClientID %>" + "_Div"); 
            if (rotatorElement != null) {
                rotatorElement.set_scrollDuration = 30;
                rotatorElement.set_tickSpeed = 30;
                               
            }
        }

 <rad:RadRotator ScrollDirection="left" ScrollSpeed="30"
                                    UseSmoothScroll="false" FrameTimeout="0" Height="25px"
                                    TransitionType="scroll" FramesToShow="1" ID="radRotTickerText"
                                    Width="100%" runat="server"  >
                                    <FrameTemplate>
                                        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" border="0">
                                            <tr>                                            
                                                <td class="Change" style="white-space:nowrap; ">
                                                    <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "[TickerText]")%>
                                                </td>
                                            </tr>
                                        </table>
                                    </FrameTemplate>
                                </rad:RadRotator>

Hi Stevey,

Unfortunately we cannot reproduce the scenario on our side. In the ticket info you point that you use the 2009.1 402 version of the control( this is the AJAX enabled version), but the code that you pasted is related to RadRotator for ASP.NET (the AJAX version does not have <FrameTemplate> tag). Also you use the set_scrollDuration as a property, but this is a method from the client-side API of the RadRotator for ASP.NET AJAX, and these properties are not related to the Classic version of the control. Also you use the set_tickSpeed as a property of a RadRotator's client -side object, but please note that this is a method from the client-side API of the RadTcker for ASP.NET AJAX control and does not related to the RadRotator's object.
We are much willing to help, but we will need your further cooperation. Could you, please, open a new support ticket and send us a simple running application which demonstrates your scenario and reproduces the problems you experience? We will take a closer look at your code, test it on our side, investigate the issues and do our best to help you.

are there any client side functions that I can use to set the scroll speed for the version of the rad control we have?
Also, where can i view online documentation for the rad control version i am using?

Hi Stevey,

The ASP.NET Classic version of the RadRotator control does not have client-side methods or properties that can be used in order to change the ScrollSpeed or FrameTimeout's values.
As for your second question, you can download the .CHM help documentation from this link. In case that you experience problems opening the help file, please check this blog post.
