The NEWSFEED control is a simple-to-use "newsreader" within the Natural pages. It offers the possibility to read news feeds (RSS feeds and Atom feeds).
Important:
In order to use the NEWSFEED control, you have to specify a valid
RSS or Atom feed URL (for example
http://www.cnet.com/rss/news/). If
necessary, you also have to specify your proxy server settings (host, port,
user name, password).
The following topics are covered below:
The XML layout definition is:
<rowarea name="Newsfeed Control" width="560"> <newsfeed infoprop="newsfeedinfoprop" width="550" height="450"> </newsfeed> </rowarea>

Name of the adapter parameter that represents the control in the adapter. |
Obligatory | |
| height |
Height of the control. There are three possibilities to define the height: (A) You do not define a height at all. As consequence the control will be rendered with its default height. If the control is a container control (containing) other controls then the height of the control will follow the height of its content. (B) Pixel sizing: just input a number value (e.g. "20"). (C) Percentage sizing: input a percantage value (e.g. "50%"). Pay attention: percentage sizing will only bring up correct results if the parent element of the control properly defines a height this control can reference. If you specify this control to have a height of 50% then the parent element (e.g. an ITR-row) may itself define a height of "100%". If the parent element does not specify a width then the rendering result may not represent what you expect. |
