Applet Events

The SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) iChart, iGrid, iBrowser, iTicker, and iCalendar all support links from a JavaScript function to a selection event. You can link, correlate, or drill down between template types on a Web page. Even if template types are linked to different data sources, the relationships are transparent.

Events

Name	Data Type	Default Value	Use	Details
`CreationEvent`	String	None	Provides the name of a JavaScript function that is called when the applet is first loaded into the Web page.	Other applets on the same page may not be initialized. The string can be used to configure initial properties and behaviors for an applet using Web page scripting.
`UpdateEvent`	String	None	Provides the name of a JavaScript function in a Web page after the applet's contents are updated through a query to the underlying data source.	You can use this event when new data is received or the time period changes. For example, you can update multiple charts when the main chart's time period changes. Do not create loops between applets that constantly update each other. The `setUpdateEventEnabled` method can be used to dynamically enable or disable this event.
`FirstUpdateEvent`	String	None	Similar to `UpdateEvent`, except it is called when an applet is initialized on a page.	Not all applets support this capability.
`SelectionEvent`	String	None	Provides the name of a JavaScript function in a Web page when you select an item in the applet.	This event works when you do the following: Select an item in a chart legend. Click a row in a grid. Click an item in a browser tree or list. Click a date in a calendar. The `setSelectionEventEnabled` method can be used to dynamically enable or disable this event.
`DoubleClickEvent`	String	None	Provides the name of a JavaScript function in a Web page when you double-click an item in the applet.	This event works when you do the following: Double-click an item in a chart legend. Double-click a cell or row in a grid. Double-click an item in a browser tree or list.

Prerequisites

The MAYSCRIPT attribute has already been included in the APPLET HTML tag when you use these events.

When you use the SAP MII wizards to insert HTML content, the MAYSCRIPT attribute is automatically included. The following example shows how to specify the name of the JavaScript function when an event is fired:

<APPLET NAME="Untitled" CODEBASE="/XMII/Classes" CODE="iChart" ARCHIVE="illum8.zip" WIDTH="640" HEIGHT="400" TABINDEX=1 MAYSCRIPT>

<PARAM NAME="QueryTemplate" VALUE="MyProject/MyQuery">

<PARAM NAME="DisplayTemplate" VALUE="MyProject/MyChart">

<PARAM NAME="Content-Type" VALUE="image/png">

</APPLET>
