Usage

The ACTION DEFAULTS section centralizes action view attributes (text, comment, image, accelerators) at the form level.

The ACTION DEFAULTS section must appear in the sequence described in form file structure.

The ACTION DEFAULTS section is optional.

The section holds a list of ACTION elements and specify attributes for each action. The action is identified by the name following the ACTION keyword, and attributes are specified in a list between parenthesis.

The attributes defined in this section are applied to form action views like buttons, toolbar buttons, or topmenu options, if the individual action views do not explicitly define their own attributes.

Action attributes can be defined at different levels, see action configuration for more details.

Example

ACTION DEFAULTS
  ACTION accept ( COMMENT="Commit order record changes",

  ACTION cancel ( TEXT="Stop", IMAGE="stop",
                    ACCELERATOR=SHIFT-F2, VALIDATE=NO )
