A UIEvent is is raised when a user performs an action such as pressing a button, selecting an item in a menu or list, or selecting a row in a grid.
Methods of raising UI events:
* A user interacts a control (view) on which a UIevent is set.
* Run a script that uses the fireUIEvent API method.
* A UIEvent can be enabled or disabled dynamically by binding it to a boolean Class attribute or the ClientModel.
UIEvents can be handled at different levels of the application:
* UIEvents are handled in a layout or portlet/dialog by a UIAction.
* If no UIAction is present in the current layout to handle the UIEvent, it is passed upwards to the next container (layout or portlet/dialog).
* Unhandled events are passed to the platform that operates on any system-defined UI events such as sysAdd, sysSave, sysExit.
