Action widgets are a special type of widget that have no visual appearance but perform an action when triggered (such as sending a message, navigating to a tiddler, or changing the value of a tiddler). Action widgets are used in association with other widgets that [[trigger those actions|TriggeringWidgets]] (for example, the ButtonWidget).
|
|
|
|
The following action widgets are provided:
|
|
|
|
<<list-links "[tag[ActionWidgets]]">>
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to use action widgets:
|
|
|
|
* Placing them within an action string attribute (typically called `actions`) on the triggering widget (this is the preferred way)
|
|
* Embedding the actions within the triggering widget (an older technique that is now deprecated)
|
|
|
|
!! Using action string attributes
|
|
|
|
The action widgets are passed as a string to the `actions` attribute of the [[triggering widget|TriggeringWidgets]]. Usually, it is more convenient to use a macro to assign the action widgets to a variable. For example, here is a button that triggers two actions of sending different messages:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
\define my-actions()
|
|
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-home"/>
|
|
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-full-screen"/>
|
|
\end
|
|
|
|
<$button actions=<<my-actions>>>
|
|
Click me!
|
|
</$button>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!! Directly embedding action widgets
|
|
|
|
The action widgets need not be immediate children of their [[triggering widget|TriggeringWidgets]], but they must be descendents of it. The actions are performed in sequence. Here is the above example rewritten to use embedding:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<$button>
|
|
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-home"/>
|
|
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-full-screen"/>
|
|
Click me!
|
|
</$button>
|
|
```
