TBasicActionLink.Execute function

Member of TBasicActionLinkpublicIn unit Classes

Calls the action's Execute method.

Declaration

pascal
function Execute(AComponent: TComponent=Nil): Boolean; virtual

Description

Execute sets the ActionComponent property of the associated Action to AComponent and then calls the Action's execute method. After the action has executed, the ActionComponent property is cleared again.

The return value of the function is the return value of the Action's execute method.

Application programmers should never call Execute directly. This method will be called automatically when the associated control is activated. (e.g. a button is clicked on)

Component programmers should call Execute whenever the action should be activated.
