XAF WinForms - Create a custom action type and a custom associated control (BarCheckItem)

This example implements a custom action and uses the WinForms BarCheckItem as a custom action control.

Implementation Details

1. The CheckableSimpleAction in a SimpleAction descendant that saves the action's checked state.
2. The BarCheckItemCheckableSimpleActionControl uses the WinForms BarCheckItem control to implement the custom action in the UI.
3. The CheckableSimpleActionBinding links the custom action (CheckableSimpleAction) to its UI representation (BarCheckItemCheckableSimpleActionControl).

Note: In most cases, it is not required to implement a custom action and action item. It is sufficient to customize the existing action control as described in the following topic: How to: Customize Action Controls.
