Version

HasPreviousView Property

Returns a boolean indicating if there is a previous entry in the history/viewing path.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property HasPreviousView As Boolean
public bool HasPreviousView {get;}
Remarks

As the view of the UltraPrintPreviewControl changes, a history is maintained of the areas of the pages that have been viewed. This is the view history. The HasPreviousView and HasNextView are used to indicate if there are entries in the specified direction within the view history. The PerformAction can then be used with values of PreviousView and NextView respectively to navigate within the view history.

Note: There is a limit on the history depth that will be maintained. Once that depth is reached, subsequent history entries will remove the earliest entries as needed.

Example
This snippet demonstrates how to create a user interface which allows the user to navigate the view history of a print preview. Every time the user moves to a different part of the print preview the new view is saved by the UltraPrintPreviewControl. The location in the preview, zoom factor, etc. are all saved in this history list. This is analogous to the Back and Forward history buttons in an internet browser.
