XUI Action

An action defines a change of the model or the user interface (visual event).

XUI component - Actions

The actions are sequentially released if the condition was positive on examination.

XUI component - Main Action

Fieldname	Default	Description
Is enabled	true	If set to No the action is ignored!
Class		With the indication of its own Java class, the condition can be implemented. The class must implement the Action interface. If a standard GUI action or a change of model is indicated, in combination with its own class, both actions are implemented. The own action implementation is executed last.
Target Node		Every action requires the indication of a target node, respectively target component. If no target is indicated, the action is executed on the node of the rule definition.
Address only serialiyable nodes!	false	Action
Description		A freetext description of the action
Main action		Determines the kind of the action: Property change action -> formula result will be set to all target nodes! UI action -> make UI modifications like visibility, readonly,.. Formula action(formaly called General Action) -> evaluate any formula without writing a value back to the target types. Java action-> own Java implementation of an action
Formula expression		Defines the value to be set at the target node. Note: Thereby the target node must be a leaf (simple type).

If the target of an action refers to a component, which is represented by a Plugin, you can call all visible methods, which define a combination of the permitted parameter values (see Supported parameter types). The methods may be called over the Java Reflection API. The GUI action causes a visual change in the user interface.

XUI component - GUI Action

You can double-click one of the specified Methods to select it and list its parameter values. See 1 in the above Figure. . Then, you can define a suitable value for each parameter. See 2, in the above Figure.
If a parameter is of the type „String", you can enter a text for the language-dependent translation., into the „NLS" field

Table of all standard GUI actions.

Name Inverse-Action Name	Description
addTreeNode removeTreeNode	Inserts the target node as a new tree entry.
Boolean	Defines whether the inserted node is to be serialized or not.
jumpTo	Jumps to any target node and brings its visualizer to the front.
removeHint	Removes a previously inserted reference to the target node.
removeMessage	Removes a previously introduced message for the target node.
removeTreeNode	Removes a previously imported tree entry for the target node.
Boolean	Defines whether the node, which is being removed, is to be serialized or not. .
setApplicationRequired	Sets the target node to be mandatory or optional, for the application. This changes the background color of the addressed input element.
Boolean	Defines whether the target node is mandatory (true) or optional (false).
setBackground	Defines the background color for the target input element.
Color	RGB color value (e.g. 210,220,120)
setChoosenKeyContextValue	Sets any context data relative to the referred context (provided XPath) of a Key-KeyRef relationship.
String	XPath expression relative to the current context of the target node and its Key-KeyRef relationship.
String	Value to be newly set.
setCodeSetValues	Sets a number of CodeSet values on the target node.
String	URL of the CodeSet.
String	Name of the CodeSet.
String[]	Codes to be set for the new selection (comma separated).
String	Default selection value.
setEditable	Make the target editable or not.
setEnabled	Locks or unlocks the input element of the target node.
Boolean	Lock or unlock.
setForeground	Sets the text color for the input element of the target node.
Color	RGB color value (e.g. 210,220,120)
setLabelColor	Sets the label color for the target input element.
Color	RGB color value (e.g. 210,220,120
setSerializable	Defines whether the target node is to be serialized or not.
Boolean	Should the target node be serialzed or not.
setTreeIcon	Defines the icon for the tree entry of the target node.
String	Icon name of the tree entry (gif or jpg). Thereby, you can define the entire path indication or the icon name alone (resolution via class path).
setVisible	Defines whether the target input element is to be indicated or not.
Boolean	Should the target element be displayed or not.
setVisibleAndSerialize	Defines whether the target input element should be displayed respectively serialized or not.
Boolean	Should target element be displayed or not.
Boolean	Should target node be serialized or not.
showHint removeHint	Displays a dynamic reference on the target element.
String*	Reference text.
Boolean	Defines whether the reference text concerns a formula or not.
Color	RGB color value of the dynamic reference.
Boolean	Defines whether the reference text should be displayed in bold font.
showLabel	Controls the visibility of the target input label.
Boolean	Defines whether the label is visible or not.
showMessage removeMessage	Displays a message, which is freely selectable for the target node.
String*	Text of the message.
String	Classification of the message („error", „incomplete",„info",„warning",„hint", or „question")
Boolean	Defines whether the message is displayed as a dialog (true) or added to the error list (false).
Boolean	Defines whether the end user should confirm the message, so that it disappears.

* When these values are indicated, the text can be translated. .
