About application event actions

An application event action is defined as a unit of work to be performed during the execution of an application event handler.

A single event handler can have multiple event actions, but each action is assigned to a single event handler.

Depending on its action type, an event action can do these kinds of things:

  • Evaluate and compare expressions by using the results to select which event action of its event handler to perform next
  • Affect the application event's visual state
  • Complete the event handler
  • Set event variables
  • Call methods or web services
  • Perform other predefined tasks
