ActionComponent¶: Indicates the client component that caused this action to execute.

AutoCheck¶

Controls whether the Checked property toggles when the action executes. AutoCheck causes the Checked property to toggle when the action executes. This allows the Checked property of the action to remain in sync with the Checked property of the client (or an equivalent). If the client has an AutoCheck property of its own, the AutoCheck property of the action is propagated to the AutoCheck property of the client.

Type:: bool

Checked¶

Indicates whether client controls and menu items appear checked. Checked specifies the checked state for the action. The value of Checked can be propagated to all client controls and client menu items linked to the action.

Note: If the action has a GroupIndex value greater than 0, then setting Checked to True sets to False the Checked properties of all other actions in the GroupIndex group. Tip: Use the AutoCheck property to ensure that the action’s Checked property toggles when the action executes.

Type:: bool

Enabled¶

Specifies the enabled state for the action. The value of Enabled can be propagated to all client controls and client menu items linked to the action.

Type:: bool

Execute()¶: Generates an OnExecute event.

GroupIndex¶

Indicates a group of actions in one action list. Actions in this group act like the group of radio buttons. The value of GroupIndex is used to define groups of actions. Actions in each group act like groups of radio buttons. When GroupIndex is greater than 0, this value identifies the group to which some actions belong. The value of GroupIndex can be propagated to all client controls and client menu items linked to the action. When the Checked property of any action in that group is set to True, the Checked properties of all other actions in the group are set to False. That is, only one action in the group can be checked at a time.

Note: All actions in a group must be listed by the same action list.

Type:: int

HelpContext¶

Keeps the integer context ID that identifies the Help topic for the action. HelpContext specifies the integer context ID to identify the Help topic to show when invoking Help for the action. The value of HelpContext can be propagated to all client controls and client menu items linked to the action. See also IsHelpLinked. HelpContext is only used when htContext is selected in the HelpType property.

Note: To use Help, you need to enable Help in your application. When your application supports usage of the appropriate Help system, then it can show Help topics from the associated Help file. When a client control has focus and the user presses the F1 key, the control uses the value of the HelpContext property to invoke the online Help that shows the topic with this context ID. The target topic is uniquely identified by a HelpContext context ID value.

Type:: int

HelpKeyword¶

Contains the keyword string that identifies the Help topic for the action. The value of HelpKeyword can be propagated to all client controls and client menu items linked to the action. HelpKeyword is only used when htKeyword is selected in the HelpType property.

Note: To use Help, you need to enable Help in your application. When your application supports usage of the appropriate Help system, then it can show Help topics from the associated Help file. When a client control has focus and the user presses the F1 key, the control uses the HelpKeyword property’s value to invoke the online Help showing the topic with this keyword.

Type:: str

HelpType¶

Keeps whether to use the HelpContext or HelpKeyword property to identify the Help topic. The value of HelpType can be propagated to all client controls and client menu items linked to the action. HelpType can keep one of the following constants:

htContext instructs to use the HelpContext property to identify the Help topic to show when invoking Help. htKeyword instructs to use the HelpKeyword property to identify the Help topic to show when invoking Help.

Type:: HelpType

PopupMenu¶

Embarcadero Technologies does not currently have any additional information.

Type:: CustomPopupMenu

SecondaryShortCuts¶

Stores shortcuts (in addition to ShortCut) for triggering the action. Actions can execute in response to multiple shortcut key combinations. SecondaryShortCuts lists all the shortcut key combinations (other than the one specified by the ShortCut property) that can trigger the action. This lets you provide additional, secondary shortcuts. When the user types one of the key combinations listed in SecondaryShortCuts, the action’s Execute method is called.

Type:: CustomShortCutList

ShortCut¶

Shortcut that triggers the action. The value of Shortcut can be propagated to all client controls and client menu items linked to the action.

Type:: int

Text¶

Represents the caption of the action. Text holds the string that is used in the same way as the Caption of the action, when it is set. The value of Text is propagated to the action’s clients. Text is the same as Caption. You can use both Text and Caption, but descendant classes should only use the published property Text, so that the Object Inspector displays only the Text property, as in most FireMonkey components. In the Text property you can define an accelerator key. On Windows platforms, an accelerator key is shown as an underlined letter. To specify an accelerator key, precede an <accelerator_letter> with an ampersand & character. The letter after the ampersand appears underlined. For example, to set the S character as an accelerator key for a Save action, type &Save. On Windows platforms, accelerator keys enable the user to activate actions pressing Alt+<accelerator_letter> key combination. To show a single ampersand & character in a Text property specify doubled ampersand && characters. Notice that & and _ are seen and can be used only under Windows.

Type:: str

UnsupportedArchitectures¶

Defines the set of unsupported CPU architectures. The TArchitecture type defines the arIntelX86 and arIntelX64 constants that identify the processor architectures Intel x86 and Intel x64. Use UnsupportedArchitectures to identify sets of unsupported processor architectures.

Type:: Architectures

UnsupportedPlatforms¶

Defines the set of unsupported OS platforms. The TPlatform type defines the pfWindows, pfMacOS, pfiOS, pfAndroid, and pfLinux constants that identify the Windows, Mac OS, Android, and other platforms. Use UnsupportedPlatforms to identify sets of unsupported OS platforms.

Type:: Platforms

Update()¶: Provides an opportunity to execute centralized code when an application is idle.

ValueRange¶

Provides access to a floating-point value and its permitted ranges. ValueRange provides access to the Value, Min, Max, Frequency, ViewportSize, and RelativeValue properties and to the methods handling consistency of these properties.

Type:: CustomValueRange

Visible¶

Stores whether the action representation is visible. Visible specifies the visible state for the action (True means visible, False means invisible). This Visible value is propagated to a client of the action if IsVisibleLinked method of the action link linking the client to the action returns True. If the Visible of an action is False and IsVisibleLinked of an action link returns True, then the Visible of the client (a control, menu item, or others) is also set False and this client is also invisible. Typically, IsVisibleLinked of an action link returns False if the action belongs to TCustomViewAction. Otherwise, when the action belongs to TAction, then IsVisibleLinked of an action link returns True. That is, TCustomViewAction is used when one need to provide visible representation of clients of actions that have Visible set True.

Type:: bool
