"Actions" Section

In this section, you can create and describe the user's context menu.
Since a shape may have no user's context menu, this section may be missing in the table.

To add the Actions section to the table:

1. Apply the Insert Sections command from the Edit menu or from the context menu in the table window.
   The Insert Section dialog will come up.
2. In the dialog, check the Actions option and click OK.
   The Actions section will be added to the table. Initially, it has one row (for describing one menu item).

Sometimes it may be possible that the Actions section already exists in the table, but it is not visible.
The View Sections dialog lets you show/hide the table sections.

To show the Actions section:

1. Apply the View Sections command from the Edit menu or from the context menu in the table window.
   The View Sections dialog will come up.
2. In the dialog, check the Actions option and click OK.

The Actions section appears in the table. Each row in the section corresponds to a user's menu item.

To add a new menu item:

1. Use the Add Row command from the Edit menu or from the context menu in the table window.
2. A new row will be added to the end of the section. Then you can describe the menu item.

To delete a menu item:

1. Activate the row describing the menu item you want to delete (just select any of its cells).
2. Use the Delete Row command from the Edit menu or from the context menu for the row.

This will delete the row that describes this user's menu item. Removing the last row removes the entire section.

Action

This field determines the action the program takes when the menu item is clicked. For instance, clicking the menu item can assign a value to a parameter of the shape: _SETF("Variables.X4";0.2).
To create a line separating the menu items, input any number (other than 0) in this field.

Menu

Type the name of the menu item here. The name must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Prompt

The text that will appear on the Status bar when you position the pointer over the menu item. The text must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Checked

The flag that defines whether the check mark besides the menu item should be displayed.

TRUE - show the check mark;
FALSE - don't show the check mark.

Disabled

The flag that disables the menu item (when disabled, the item appears in grey and can't be selected).

TRUE - disable the menu item;
FALSE - enable the menu item.

Variables from the Actions section are specified in the following form in the formulas:

[<shape_name>.]Actions.<field_name><row_number>
