Modify action defaults (dbapp.4ad)

You can modify the Action Default file used with the generated program.

The text, image and other attributes of the action can be controlled with an action default file (4ad). See the Genero Business Development Language User Guide.

The recommended procedure to modify the action default file used with the generated program is to create a new Action Default File (4ad) based on the dbapp.4ad template.

  1. Select File >> New >> Design >> Action Defaults (4ad).
  2. Modify the 4ad file by adding, modifying, or deleting actions and action attributes.
  3. Save the file to your project with the name dbapp.4ad.
    Note: If you save the file to your project with the name dbapp.4ad, Genero Studio will use this file at runtime instead of the template. If you choose a different name, you will need to find the BLOCK in the generated code that calls the ui.interface.loadActionDefaults() method. Change the parameter name of the file name to your new file name.
