The example below demonstrates how to set a Contact ‘s FirstName value to the NickName property via a SimpleAction.
using DevExpress.ExpressApp;
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Actions;
using DevExpress.Persistent.Base;
using MainDemo.Module.BusinessObjects;
// ...
public class SetNickNameController : ViewController {
public SetNickNameController() {
SimpleAction setNickNameAction = new SimpleAction(this, "SetNickName", PredefinedCategory.Edit);
setNickNameAction.Execute += SetNickNameAction_Execute;
}
private void SetNickNameAction_Execute(object sender, SimpleActionExecuteEventArgs e) {
Contact currentObject = View.CurrentObject as Contact;
if(currentObject != null) {
currentObject.NickName = currentObject.FirstName;
}
}
}
This property returns null and is intended to be overridden in View descendants. See ListView.CurrentObject and DetailView.CurrentObject.
