The Action column is used for defining the object-specific action to be executed when the object is selected by touch or mouse activation. Possible actions include screen change, change variable value etc.
Multiple actions
The & character is used to trigger several actions (Action column).
Example: SetVar=1 & #Page=<name> ...sets the variable to 1 and then switches to screen page name
Alternatively, it is also possible to stack several objects on top of each other. In this case, the covered objects are normally Invisible. This variant is used to set different variables to defined values.
No more actions are executed after the #Page=<name> action!
The Key=<keycode> action can be defined with normal ASCII characters, a key name and with the appropriate key code.
