DispatchAction( action, optionalParameter )

action is a string.

optionalParameter is a string (only some actions require the optionalParameter).

This function sends a user interface action to the Cue List view. These actions would normally by triggered by clicking on the user interface, i.e. clicking on a toolbar button, or selecting a cue row in the Cue List table.

Example.

CueListView:DispatchAction("Select All")

This would send an action that would be the same as selecting the Select All menu item from the Edit menu.

Action Strings

Select All

Will select all the displayed cue rows in the cue table in the Cue List view.

Deselect All

Will deselect all the displayed cue rows in the cue table in the Cue List view.

Select First Cue Row

Will select the first cue row in the cue table in the Cue List view. It is the same as if you had clicked on the first cue row in the cue table. Note that table will not scroll to show the selection.

Select Last Cue Row

Will select the last cue row in the cue table in the Cue List view. It is the same as if you had clicked on the last cue row in the cue table. Note that table will not scroll to show the selection.

This action would be the same as clicking on the camera (Take Photo) button. It will behave in the same way, in that it will add the photo to the currently selected cue row. It will fail in the same way as if you clicked on the button if there are insufficient available photos (the maximum is 4 for a cue). :There is no optional parameter.
