Local actions

Recognize and customize local actions.

Some features of the GDC are defined as "local", including "completely local" features like copy, cut or paste. Some others depend on the DVM but concern local behavior, like the navigation in a table.

To allow you to customize these features with an accelerator, images, comments, and so on, the features are integrated as local actions. They follow the same rules as Runtime System actions, but they are created by the Front End instead of the Runtime System.

You can create actionViews for local actions, as you can for any other action.

Example:

BUTTON btn1 = nextfield;

When this button is pressed, the focus will go to the next field.

Example:

<ActionDefault name="nextfield" accelerator="return">

The "return" key will be the accelerator to go to the next field.
