Attributes

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the CanRedo and RedoActionName properties, and the Redo method, to restrict a redo operation to any action except the deletion of text. This example requires that you have a form that contains a RichTextBox control and that an operation within the RichTextBox has been performed and undone before the code in this example is called.

private void RedoAllButDeletes()
{
    // Determines if a Redo operation can be performed.
    if (richTextBox1.CanRedo)
    {
        // Determines if the redo operation deletes text.
        if (richTextBox1.RedoActionName != "Delete")
            // Perform the redo.
            richTextBox1.Redo();
    }
}

Remarks

You can use this property to determine whether the last operation undone in the RichTextBox can be reapplied using the Redo method.
