Stored procedures
Runs the last action undone by the end user ("Allow end users to modify the UI" option enabled). This function is equivalent to a "Redo" (Ctrl + Y) performed by the user.
This function is mainly used when creating an editor through programming (see "Remarks").
Example
// [Restore] button
WinEdRedo(WIN_Form)
Syntax
WinEdRedo(<Window>)
<Window>: Window name
Name of the window or internal window to be used. This window must be in edit mode (WinEdActive).
Remarks

Use conditions

  • WinEdRedo has no effect if no action was undone.
  • If the last action is a custom action run by WinEdDo, the procedure declared in this function is run.
  • The restored action can be undone again by pressing Ctrl + Z or programmatically with WinEdUndo.

Use example

WinEdDo is used to create custom actions (control creation for example) that support the undo/redo feature.
Let's take a simple example: creating a graphic object editor.
A button is used to create a shape. The user must have the ability to undo the shape creation. The following operations are performed:
  • The window switches to edit mode (WinEdActive).
  • Calling WinEdDo. The procedure called by this function is used to create the shape. This procedure also contains the call to WinEdDeclareUndo. WinEdDeclareUndo is used to define the behavior in case of user cancellation.
  • The window switches to standard mode (WinEdActive).
The end user can undo this action (Ctrl + Z or WinEdUndo) and eventually redo it (Ctrl + Y or WinEdRedo).
