Wish Actionlist

[rwblinn]

Hi,

looking for an easier way to define actions and assign these directly to menu_action and button_action instead of defining subs for each control using the same action. It is basically an Actionlist (like used in Lazarus, Delphi).

Example
Current Coding

Sub About_Action
  Log("About...")
End Sub

Sub mnuAbout_Action
About_Action
End Sub

Sub btnAbout_Action
About_Action
End Sub

Suggestion

Private mnuAbout As MenuItem = mnuAbout.Action = About_Action
Private btnAbout As Button = btnAbout.Action = About_Action

You can set the id of these nodes to the same value.

Thx Erel for the hint, which was my initial thought as well.

The disadvantage of using a single ID, is that the properties of various controls using the action, can not be set individually.
