Adding events and actions to primitives and objects
Selecting a standard event
Selecting a primitive, drawing category objects, a channel selector or the panel’s canvas
displays standard events in the Action Editor that can be associated with actions. Not all
standard events are available to every type of object though. The object type and its
functionality determines the applicable standard events. For example, when a Check Box
primitive is the selected object, the standard events that can trigger actions are limited to:
O
N
L
OAD
, O

U
NLOAD
, O

C
HECKED
, O

U
NCHECKED
and O

G

D

.

OTE
If you have a special requirement that is not covered by existing standard events, you can create
custom events (User Defined events) that can be triggered in response to another event, or have
actions executed whenever certain database variables change (Data Arrival events). See
for more details and instructions.
The following table lists and describes each of the standard events that may appear in the
