Connecting Actions query..

[Ian Branch 121]

Hi Team,

Based on Ray Koonopka's presentation in the 2023 Delphi Con, I thought I would have a look at Actions via an ActionList..

All seems fine with one exception..

When I connect an Action to a Button, the Actions 'OnExecute' event gets inserted into the button's 'OnClick' event.

Is this normal/correct?

Is it OK to leave there?

 

Regards & TIA,

Ian

Yes

That's the basic idea: You implement the code in the Actions OnExecute event instead of the Buttons OnClick event. That allows to use the same code for multiple controls (f.i. Buttons) spread over different forms or frames.
