The Action object is used to control the properties of a ConceptDraw shape's user-defined menu item and the action, associated with it. The user-defined menu appears when you right-click on the shape. You can add items to the menu and assign to an item a formula which will be executed when this menu item is clicked. To assign a formula to a menu item, use the SetPropertyFormula method of the Shape object. The following methods of the Shape object are defined for working with the menu item collection of a shape's user-defined menu:
Action | The result of executing the formula, associated with this menu item. |
Menu | The name of the menu item. |
Prompt | The prompt that appears in the status bar when the menu item is selected. |
Checked | The state of a check mark beside the command name on the menu |
Disabled | The state of a menu item |
To retrieve an instance of the Action object, corresponding to an item of the user-defined menu item collection of the shape, use the Action method of the Shape object. Use the ActionsNum method to find out the number of the user-defined menu items. The AddAction method can be used to add an item to the user-defined menu, and RemoveAction - to remove one.
