iTicker Events and Methods 
You can use scripting methods to return information from a ticker.
You can use the SelectionEvent applet parameter to allow JavaScript functions to be associated with the selection of an item in the list view of an SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) iTicker applet.
The following table lists common methods that can be used with tickers:
Method | Use |
iTickerComponent getTickerObject() | Gets a reference to the underlying ticker display object. |
void updateTicker(boolean bReloadData) | Updates the contents of the ticker. If the query is time-based, the refresh() method updates the start and end dates based on the current time less the duration; whereas, the updateTicker method uses specific dates. |
int getNumColumns() | Returns the number of columns in the data set. |
int getItemCount() | Returns the number of item in the data set. |
int getSelectedItem() | Returns the index of the selected item. |
String getColumnValue(int nIndex, String sColumnName) | Returns the string value of the specified row number and column name from the data set. |
String getMessage(int nIndex) | Returns the string value of the message at the current index. |
