Demo

Demo  Demos\Actions\Actions_MView\MViewActions.dpr

Base Properties
Published Property  ActionType Specifies the type of action: whether the control only performs a function (ieaButton), toggles a state (ieaCheckbox), or changes between multiple states (ieaRadioButton)
Published Property  ImageEnMView Optional property: Specify a TImageEnMView if you have multiple on a form and want to limit actions to one of them
Published Property  RequiresFocus If enabled, actions have no effect unless a TImageEnMView is focused, otherwise actions work and change whatever control is focused. You must set this to true, or use the ImageEnMView property if you have multiple TImageEnMViews on a form (Default: False)


Note:

You can set MsgLanguage to localize the actions
Some actions include shortcuts. The VCL does not allow these to be cleared at design-time. Disable them at run-time as follows: ImageEnMView1PromptToOpen1.ShortCut := 0;
See the list of the default ImageIndexes if you are planning to add graphics to your actions
