    #: Pre-condition for showing the action. If the expression evaluates to False,
    #: the action is not visible (and disappears if it was previously visible).
    #: If the value evaluates to True, the action becomes visible. All
    #: **visible_when** conditions are checked each time that any trait value
    #: is edited in the display. Therefore, you can use **visible_when**
    #: conditions to hide or show actions in response to user input.

    #: Pre-condition for enabling the action. If the expression evaluates to
    #: False, the action is disabled, that is, it cannot be selected. All
    #: **enabled_when** conditions are checked each time that any trait value
    #: is edited in the display. Therefore, you can use **enabled_when**
    #: conditions to enable or disable actions in response to user input.

    #: the correct name, for each Action defined on the View for that window.

#: most recent change to the data is cancelled, restoring the previous value.
#: **Redo** cancels the most recent "undo" operation.
UndoButton = Action(name='Undo')

#: When the user clicks the **Revert** button, all changes made in the window are
#: cancelled and the original values are restored. If the changes have been
#: applied to the model (because the user clicked **Apply** or because the window
#: is live), the model data is restored as well. The window remains open.

#: When the user clicks the **Apply** button, all changes made in the window are

#: applied to the model, and the window is closed.

#: are discarded; if the window is live, the model is restored to the values it
#: held before the window was opened. The window is then closed.
CancelButton = Action(name='Cancel')

#: When the user clicks the **Help** button, the current help handler is
#: invoked. If the default help handler is used, a pop-up window is displayed,
#: which contains the **help** text for the top-level Group (if any), and for
#: the items in the view. If the default help handler has been overridden,
