In case the action is read-only, the fields of the dialog are also read-only.State action dialog, tab UmlThe tab Uml is a global tab :The proposed stereotypes are the default one specified through the Default stereotypes dialog more the current one (empty here). It ispossible to choose into the list or to give a new one, or to empty it.Theeditorbutton visible above and associated here to the description, allows to edit the description in an other window, or to call an external edito(for instance Xcoral) specified through the environment variable BOUML_EDITOR. Note that this external editor have to create an ownwindow, its parameter is the pathname of the file containing the description, its execution is done in parallel with BOUML which lookeach second at the file contents to get the new definition until the dialog is closed (I do not like very much this polling but this works evenQT isn't compiled with the thread support).State action dialog, tab OclThe Ocl tab allows to specify the state action expression using the Ocllanguage, but in fact BOUML doesn't check the syntax, this is just a convention.
