ASPxClientImageSlider.SetActiveItemIndex(index, preventAnimation) Method

Makes the specified item active within the image slider control on the client side.

Declaration

SetActiveItemIndex(
    index: number,
    preventAnimation: boolean
): void

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
index	number	An integer value specifying the index of the item to select.
preventAnimation	boolean	true to prevent the animation effect; false to change images using animation.

Remarks

The image slider control provides the capability to make items active on the client side using the SetActiveItemIndex method.

Note that the control always has the active item and only one item can be active within the control at the same time. So, the SetActiveItemIndex method is in effect if it has passed a correct item index which lies in the range of 0 to the ASPxClientImageSlider.GetItemCount value decremented by one.

Example

This example demonstrates how to implement custom SlideShow functionality by using the ASPxImageSlider's client-side API.
