| DCACTION_SELECTED | [0x0002] Apply the effect on the selected cells only. |
The following flags indicate when the action is applied, these flags are only useful when combining them with either DCACTION_ALLCELLS or DCACTION_SELECTED, because they only apply to how the action will be applied on more than one cell.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|

| DCACTION_KEEPPREVIOUSASSIGNMENT | [0x0100] This flag tells the engine not to remove the action previous mouse button assignment. For example if you previously set an action to the left mouse button, then assigned the same action to the right mouse button while using this flag, the action then can be activated using either the left or the right mouse button. |
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| SUCCESS | The function was successful. |
| < 1 | An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. |
An action must be added to a container before it can be assigned to a mouse button. To add an action to a container call L_DispContainerAddAction.
If an action is set to a mouse button that is already used by another action, the new action will overwrite the old one.
The L_DispContainerIsButtonValid function is preferred to use before calling this function to check the validity of assigning a button to a specific action. For example, if the user passed CONTAINER_MOUSE_WHEEL to the MouseButton parameter and CONTAINER_ACTION_MAG to the nAction parameter, the function will return ERROR_INV_PARAMETER, while if the same values are passed as parameters to the function L_DispContainerIsButtonValid, the function will return 0 as an indication that the mouse button is not valid for this action.
uFlags is used only with the following actions:
for any other action, uFlags must be 0, otherwise, the function will return ERROR_INV_PARAMETER.
Actions can also be associated with keystroke combinations. To assign an action to a keystroke combination, call L_DispContainerSetKeyboardAction.
To retrieve the mouse button associated with the specific action, call the L_DispContainerGetActionButton function.
For an example, refer to L_DispContainerCreate.
