editMenu.undo

Syntax editMenu.undo ()

Params None required

Action Undoes the last operation on the target window.

Returns True if the previous operation in the target window could be undone and was, false if Undo is disabled and therefore could not be performed.

Examples Open examples.docs.editText in the Object Database. Select any line of text in the window and then type and execute:
editMenu.cut ()


   » true

Note that the selected text has been removed. Now type and execute:
editMenu.undo ()


   » true

Note that the cut is undone and the text is restored. Try it again:
editMenu.undo ()


   » true

Now the text is cut again. Many of the content-editing commands place the undo feature of Frontier into a toggle mode where each execution of editMenu.undo returns the document to its previous state.

Notes Performs the same action as selecting the Undo or the corresponding Redo command in the Frontier Edit menu.

This verb, like its menu equivalent, often acts as a toggle, undoing and re-doing a specific change.

Frontier keeps separate track of the last change made in each window during a Frontier session. This permits you to undo the last sequence of actions if they are performed on different objects.
