Occurs when an end-user clicks a Simple Action’s control.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Actions

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v20.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Declaration

C#

public event SimpleActionExecuteEventHandler Execute

VB.NET

Public Event Execute As SimpleActionExecuteEventHandler

Event Data

The Execute event's data class is SimpleActionExecuteEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Action	Provides access to the Action being executed. Inherited from ActionBaseEventArgs.
CurrentObject	Provides access to the current object represented by the currently displayed View.
SelectedObjects	Provides access to the objects selected in the currently invoked View.
ShowViewParameters	Provides access to the ShowViewParameters object, specifying a View, displayed after executing the current Action. Inherited from ActionBaseEventArgs.

Remarks

The main entry point of a Simple Action is its Execute event. This event is raised when an end-user clicks the Simple Action’s control, which is represented by a button by default. Handle this event to execute custom code. For this purpose, use the handler’s parameter represented by a SimpleActionExecuteEventArgs object. For instance, this parameter provides access to the current and selected objects. If you need an additional View to be displayed after executing the Action, use the ActionBaseEventArgs.ShowViewParameters parameter to specify this View and its settings.

For additional information, refer to the How to: Access Objects Selected in the Current View help topic.
