Interface com.ibm.as400.vaccess.VActionContext

public interface VActionContext
The VActionContext interface defines the context within which an action is performed. An action context provides various aspects of a graphical user interface to an action, so that the action can interact with the user.

An action context is always needed when peforming actions. Many graphical user interface components provided in this package provide a getActionContext() method which will return an action context.
