About DataView action menu items on context menus

DataView actions can be used in any right-click context menu or shortcut menu on any form. If the menu includes an item that calls an event “StdCurCompAction”, this item is replaced at runtime by any dynamic menu items defined by DataView actions.

These standard menus contain the placeholder event for DataView actions:
  • StdAction
  • StdDetailsAddFindSearchAction
  • StdDetailsAddSearchAction
  • StdDetailsFindSearchAction
  • StdDetailsSearchAction
  • StdSearchAction
  • StdDataView

Shortcut menus are ordered based on alphabetical order of the caption string. The DataView actions menu item uses a string that sorts to the bottom of the menu forcing any dynamic menu items to show below the static menu items.
