Description

When a client component or control is clicked, the OnExecute event occurs for its associated action. For example, the following code illustrates the OnExecute event handler for an action that toggles the visibility of a toolbar when the action is executed. This example requires a TActionList (with one TAction) and a TToolBar on a form. Double-click the TActionList and create an TAction named Action1. The TActionList must have no OnExecute event handler. The TAction has an OnExecute event handler, called Action1Execute. Then set an object's (such as a button or menu item) Action to Action1.

Code

type
  TMainForm = class(TForm)
    ActionList: TActionList;
    Action1: TAction;
    MainMenu: TMainMenu;
    MenuAction: TMenuItem;
    lbOther: TListBox;
    lblOther: TLabel;
    ToolBar1: TToolBar;
    procedure Action1Execute(Sender: TObject);
  private
    { Private declarations }
  public
    { Public declarations }
  end;

var
  MainForm: TMainForm;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

procedure TMainForm.Action1Execute(Sender: TObject);
begin
	{ Toggle Toolbar1�s visibility. }
	ToolBar1.Visible := not ToolBar1.Visible;
  if ToolBar1.Visible then
    lbOther.Items.Add('Event Action1Execute: toolbar visible')
  else
    lbOther.Items.Add('Event Action1Execute: toolbar not visible')
end;
