Overview: Actions in Class Configuration

Class actions

  • Are created through the Class dialog box.
  • Appear in the Event Editor window when an object is created.
  • In the Event Editor, actions:
  • Are associated with an object. An object designer cannot change the association.
  • Cannot be modified. All fields are read-only.
  • Cannot be deleted.
  • Can be associated with a non-object event. This enables an object to instantiate actions that can be called from other events.
