ExecutePresetAction (Function)

Programming by preset action

Overview

The programming by preset action allows you to describe a process in a single click, without having to type any code lines, by selecting the action to run in a list.

For example:

Running the click code of button and opening the window

Initializing a component, the parameters are specified in the interface

The preset actions are proposed:

on the Button controls (in the click process)
on the menu options.
on the Link controls (in the server click process)

How to proceed?

Defining a preset action

To define a preset action:

Display the description window of control ("Description" from the popup menu).
Select the action to run in the "Action" combo box.
The most common actions are proposed in this list. To select a more specific action, click the "All the actions" button or the "Other actions" button.

The actions proposed depend on the elements found in the current project (windows, pages, component, procedure, ...).

Note: To choose the preset action, you also have the ability to select "Preset action..." from the popup menu of the control.

Note

Information displayed in the code editor

When a preset action is used, an information indicating this preset action is specified in the code editor.

For example:

Versions 16 and later
A click on the preset action displayed in the code editor displays the window for selecting preset actions. Therefore, the preset action can be modified from the code editor directly.

New in version 16
A click on the preset action displayed in the code editor displays the window for selecting preset actions. Therefore, the preset action can be modified from the code editor directly.

A click on the preset action displayed in the code editor displays the window for selecting preset actions. Therefore, the preset action can be modified from the code editor directly.

Caution: Any WLanguage code entered in the code editor after the call to the preset action will not be run.

To include a preset action in a WLanguage code, use ExecutePresetAction.
