Actions

Actions are used to react to certain events. If you have selected a control and switch to the “Actions” tab in the “Properties”,

you will see all the actions available for this control.

To create an action, click the “Actions” tab for the selected control. Then select a click event by clicking on the lightning bolt icon.

For example, to assign an action to a control that is triggered when the mouse button is clicked, select "Clicked".

In the action editor that opens next, you act in the same way as in the rule editor. It is structured in the same way.

For details, please refer to the chapter "Rules".

However, there is one difference. For the functions “SET_VARIABLE” and “SET_PROPERTY”,

you will see the following icon next to the value selection:

Additional functions can be selected here. Clicking on this icon opens the “Value manipulation” window.

The drop-down menu is filled depending on the output value. If the output value is a Boolean,

only logical operators as AND, OR, XOR or NOT are available here.

If the value is not a Boolean, only mathematical functions such as ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV or MOD are available.

These additional functions have no effect on the original value, but only change the value that is written to the target.

Another difference to the rules is that the processing of the actions is not aborted as soon as a condition of an action is true.

All actions are always executed.

The actions can also be assigned rights via the corresponding tab in the properties window.

How to add and manage rights, you see in the "Manage rights" chapter.

Actions added to a click event can be recognized by their bold name and lightning bolt icon.
