IDLitOperation::RedoOperation

IDL Reference Guide: iTools Object Classes

IDLitOperation::RedoOperation

The IDLitOperation::RedoOperation function method is called by the iTool system when the user requests the re-execution of an operation (usually by selecting Redo from the iTool Edit menu or toolbar).

Note
An operation based on the IDLitOperation class must implement this method. See Creating an Operation for details.

Note
If you are creating an operation that acts directly on the data that underlies a visualization, consider using the IDLitDataOperation class rather than the IDLitOperation class. IDLitDataOperation provides additional automation of the Undo and Redo mechanisms.

If this method is implemented for an operation, it should do the following:

Retrieve the IDLitCommand objects from the IDLitCommandSet object passed as the first argument,

For each IDLitCommand object, retrieve the target of the operation, using the TARGET_IDENTIFIER property,

Retrieve the stored information and use it to redo the operation,

Return 1 for success.

Syntax

Result = Obj->[IDLitOperation::]RedoOperation(CommandSet)

Return Value

The return value is 1 if the operation was redone successfully, or zero otherwise.

Arguments

CommandSet

An IDLitCommandSet object that contains all the IDLitCommand objects that were stored during the original execution of the operation.
