Actions

By changing the translation table, you can make a widget perform actions in response to event sequences that would not normally trigger those actions. While you can write your own action routines, translations provide the most benefit when you can use one of the built-in actions of the widget.

If you cannot find a built-in action to suit your needs, you can write your own action routine to perform the action. If you define your own action routine, it needs to be added to the application's "action table". X-Designer does this for you automatically when you define the action procedures in the Action Procedures dialog, displayed by selecting "Action Procedures..." from the Module menu.
