Can someone explain to me how this works:

Function Item_CustomAction(ByVal Action, ByVal NewItem)

Action is the custom action from the Actions tab that the user invokes. NewItem is the new item that action creates. Usually, the code uses a Select block to distinguish the actions by name:

Function Item_CustomAction(ByVal Action, ByVal NewItem)
Select Case Action.Name
Case "Action1"
MsgBox "User chose Action1"
' do anything you want with NewItem
Case "Action2"
MsgBox "User Chose Action2"
End Select
End FUnction
