ActionList#

Qualified name: delphivcl.ActionList

class ActionList#

Bases: CustomActionList

TActionList maintains a list of actions that can be used by components and controls such as menu items and buttons. Use Action lists to centralize the response to user commands (actions). Action list components maintain a list of actions that are available to the client controls in an application. Add action list components to your form or data module from the standard page of the component palette. Double-click the action list to display the Action List editor, from which you can add, delete, and rearrange actions.

Note: While it is possible to maintain the actions for an application using TActionList, it can be simpler to use Vcl.ActnMan.TActionManager instead.
