ACTION attribute

The ACTION attribute defines the action associated with the form item.

Syntax

ACTION = action-name
  1. action-name is an identifier that defines the name of the action to be sent.

Usage

The ACTION attribute defines the name of the action to be sent to the program when the user activates the form item.

This attribute can for example be used in a BUTTONEDIT field to identify the corresponding action handle to be executed in the program when the button is pressed. The Dialog actions chapter describes how actions can be implemented in dialogs.

The action name can be prefixed with a sub-dialog identifier and/or field name, to define a qualified action view (see Binding action views to action handlers for more details).

Example

BUTTONEDIT f001 = customer.state, ACTION = print;
