deBack

deBack( 
[w_window [ numSteps] ] 
) 
=> w_window / nil

Description

This API allows you to go back to a particular window event. It takes two optional integer arguments, w_window and numSteps. If deBack is called without any arguments it will open and display the cellview that was displayed prior to the current cellview in the current window.

Arguments

w_window

If the w_window argument is specified the command will work on the specified window. The default value for w_window is the current window.

numSteps

If the value of numSteps is greater than or equal to 1, you will go directly back to the cellview that would be opened if you executed the deBack(window) command numSteps times. If the value of numSteps equals 0, this will display the Go Back form. The default value for numSteps is 1.

Values Returned

w_window

The window value which you have gone back to.

nil

If the value of numSteps is more than the number of levels you can go back to, the API will return nil and warn that you cannot go that far back.

Examples
