This page is for application designers who need to configure actions for an application.

Overview

Outlining the actions tab on property editors and introducing the different ways to add actions:

Event handlers

Drag and drop

MenuWhen you create an application, you want parts of a screen to respond to an event. For example, you want an something to happen when the application-user:

• mouse-clicks or keyboard-presses on a button, menu option or data grid
• drags an item from one part of a screen, and dropping on another part.

The screen components have properties where you can configure the following events:

• Event handlers for mouse-clicks and keyboard-presses
• Drag types and drop targets for drag-and-drop
• Menu/button options for the component header.

The pages in this topic explain how to configure events, which you then connect to actionflows or, for older applications, table- or record-actions.
