Remarks

A transaction is used to group one or more UndoUnit instances into a single item in the undo/redo history. The StartTranaction method is used to start a new transaction. If no transactions have been started or all tranasactions are closed, this will create a new root level transaction that is exposed via the RootTransaction. If a transaction has already been started, and therefore RootTransaction returns non-null, the new transaction will be a nested transaction of the leaf open transaction within that UndoTransaction. The method returns the newly started transaction.

Note: The Undo and Redo methods cannot be invoked while a transaction is open but one can create transactions while performing an undo/redo operation to gather the operations into a single unit.
