It is really simple. All you need is pass the RSS xml URL as a ticker content using TickerAddContent method like this:
C# sample code:
m_pMLCharGen.TickerAddContent("my-rss-ticker", "http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/sportonline_world_edition/front_page/rss.xml", "remove-all");
You can test it on our Character Generator C# sample application. Here ia s sequence of actions:
- Run Character Generator C# sample application.
- Disable Demo mode if it is enabled.
- Press "Show CG Config Panel" button to open the configuration panel.
- Add new ticker by clicking the "Add Ticker" button. No need to add any content to the ticker, so press "Cancel" on the open file dialog.
- Set your ticker to be displayed by doubleclicking on the "show" field of ticker.
- Input your RSS feed URL to Ticker Content text box.
- Press "Add Text" button to add URL as a source to the ticker.
- Now your ticker is displaying content from RSS reed. You can close the configuration panel and enjoy.
