DevExpress XAF framework provides the following main types of Actions: SimpleAction, PopupWindowShowAction, SingleChoiceAction and ParametrizedAction.

Aggregated Action is a dynamic container for other Actions. It may be customized in Application Model, the developer can group different Actions in a hierarchical structure. It is a descendant of SingleChoiceAction.
Popup Container Show Action is a descendant of PopupWindowShowAction. It is used for displaying PopupContainer instead of PopupWindow. To see an example of use, refer to Extra Filters. Wizard Action is a special Simple Action, it is required to implement Wizards.
