oxy_action_list() Function

The oxy_action_list() function is used from the oxy_buttonGroup() function.

The arguments received by the oxy_action_list() function are a list of actions that are defined with the oxy_action() function. The following properties are supported in the oxy_action_list() function:

• name - The name of the action. It will be displayed as the label for the button or menu item.
• description (optional) - A short description with details about the result of the action.
• icon (optional) - A path relative to the CSS pointing to an image (the icon for the action). The path can point to resources that are packed in Oxygen XML Editor (oxygen.jar) by starting its value with / (for example, /images/Remove16.png). It can also be expressed as editor variables.
• operation - The name of the Java class implementing the ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorOperation interface. There is also a variety of predefined operations that can be used.

  Note

  If the name of the operation specified in the CSS is not qualified (has no Java package name), then it is considered to be one of the built-in Oxygen XML Editor operations from ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations package. If the class is not found in this package, then it will be loaded using the specified name.
• arg-<string> - All arguments with the arg- prefix are passed to the operation (the string that follows the arg- prefix is passed).
• ID - (optional) - The ID of the action from the framework. If this is specified, all others parameters are disregarded.
