Triggers differ depending on whether the project is based on a standard or multiitouch panel

Elements that offer actions also allow you to show users a Message Box, a popup message that opens when the user touches the element.

The message can ask the user a question, or give instructions and warnings.

You can select icons, include buttons in the Message Box and use the buttons to drive actions.
