- Description
- provides access to the undo/redo stacks of a document
Undo
Changes to a document usually result in recording of information how to undo those changes, if desired. A so-called
undo action records the information how to undo a single change. Undo actions are maintained in a stack, so that
the changes they represent can be undo in the reverse order they have originally been applied.
Redo
Additionally, the Undo manager manages a Redo stack: Actions which are undone are moved from the Undo to the Redo
stack, so it is possible to re-apply the changes to the document.
Undo contexts
For collecting multiple changes in a single undo action, so-called Undo contexts are provided. When an Undo
context is entered, all subsequently added Undo actions are not pushed onto the undo stack directly, but considered
a sub action of the Undo context. Once the Undo context is left, a single undo action is pushed onto the undo stack,
which comprises all those single Undo actions.
Undo contexts can be arbitrarily nested.
Hidden Undo actions
Hidden Undo actions are those which in no observable way contribute to the undo stack. That is,
any method retrieving information about the stack will behave as if the undo action does not exist. Nonetheless,
calling undo respectively redo will include those actions.
Hidden Undo actions can be created by calling enterHiddenUndoContext, following by
leaveUndoContext.
Locking
An Undo manager can be locked and unlocked, using the ::XLockable::lock and
::XLockable::unlock methods. When it is locked, then every attempt to add an undo action, or to
enter or leave an Undo context, will be silently ignored.

Methods' Details |
enterUndoContext
void |
enterUndoContext( |
[in] string |
i_title ); |
- Description
- enters a new undo context.
A new undo action will be added to the undo stack, with the title given as i_title . As long
as the context is not left, every undo action added to the stack will be treated as sub action. This means
it will not be directly accessible at the Undo manager, not appear in any user interface, and cannot be
separately undone or re-done.
Each call to enterUndoContext must be paired by a call to leaveUndoContext,
otherwise, the document's undo stack is left in an inconsistent state.
Undo contexts can be nested, i.e. it is legitimate to call enterUndoContext and
enterHiddenUndoContext multiple times without calling leaveUndoContext inbetween.

enterHiddenUndoContext
- Description
- enters a new undo context, creating a hidden undo action.
A hidden undo action does not, in any visible way, contribute to the undo stack. This means
that
- Calling undo when the top-element is a hidden undo action will transparently
undo this action, and also undo the new top element of the stack.
- Calling redo when the top-element is a hidden action will transparently
redo this action, and also redo the new top element of the stack.
- In any user interface presenting the current Undo or Redo actions to the user, a hidden
action will not be listed.
A new undo action will be added to the undo stack. As long as the context is not left, every undo action
added to the stack will be treated as sub action. This means it will not be directly accessible at the undo
manager, not appear in any user interface, and cannot be separately undone or re-done.
Each call to enterHiddenUndoContext must be paired by a call to leaveUndoContext,
otherwise, the document's undo stack is left in an inconsistent state.
Undo contexts can be nested, i.e. it is legitimate to call enterUndoContext and
enterHiddenUndoContext multiple times without calling leaveUndoContext inbetween.
- Throws
- EmptyUndoStackException
if the undo stack is currently empty, in which case it is impossible to push a hidden undo action onto
it.

- enterUndoContext, leaveUndoContext

leaveUndoContext
|
addUndoAction
- Description
- adds the given undo action to the undo stack.
The redo stack is cleared when a new action is pushed onto the undo stack.
The Undo manager takes ownership of any actions pushed onto the undo stack. This means that if the
action is finally removed from the Undo manager's control (e.g. by calling clear resp.
clearRedo), it will be disposed, as long as it supports the XComponent
interface.
If the Undo manager is locked at the moment the method is called, the call will be ignored, and the undo action
will immediately be disposed, if applicable.
- Throws
- ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException
if the given undo action is NULL.

undo
- Description
- reverts the most recent action on the document.
Effectively, invoking this method will
- invoke XUndoAction::undo on the top-most action of the undo stack
- move this undo action from the undo stack to the redo stack
- Throws
- EmptyUndoStackException
if the undo stack is currently empty
- Throws
- UndoContextNotClosedException
if there currently is an open undo context
- Throws
- UndoFailedException
if the invocation of XUndoAction::undo raised this exception. In this case, the undo stack
of the undo manager will have been cleared.
- See also
- redo, enterUndoContext
|
|
redo
- Description
- replays the action on the document which has most recently been undone
Effectively, invoking this method will
- invoke XUndoAction::redo on the top-most action of the redo stack
- move this action from the redo stack to the undo stack
- Throws
- EmptyUndoStackException
when the Redo stack is currently empty
- Throws
- UndoContextNotClosedException
if there currently is an open undo context
- Throws
- UndoFailedException
if the invocation of XUndoAction::redo raised this exception. In this case, the redo stack
of the undo manager will have been cleared.

|
isUndoPossible
boolean |
isUndoPossible(); |
- Description
- determines whether undo can reasonably be expected to succeed.
- Returns
- false if and only if the undo stack is currently empty, or there is an open and not-yet-closed
undo context.
|
|
isRedoPossible
boolean |
isRedoPossible(); |
- Description
- determines whether redo can reasonably be expected to succeed.
- Returns
- false if and only if the redo stack is currently empty, or there is an open and not-yet-closed
undo context.
|
|
getCurrentUndoActionTitle
- Description
- returns the title of the top-most action on the undo stack
- Throws
- EmptyUndoStackException
when the undo stack is currently empty
- See also
- XUndoAction::Title
|
|
getCurrentRedoActionTitle
- Description
- returns the title of the top-most action on the Redo stack
- Throws
- EmptyUndoStackException
when the Redo stack is currently empty
- See also
- XUndoAction::Title
|
|
getAllUndoActionTitles
sequence< string > |
getAllUndoActionTitles(); |
- Description
- returns the titles of all actions currently on the undo stack, from top to bottom
- See also
- XUndoAction::Title
|
|
getAllRedoActionTitles
sequence< string > |
getAllRedoActionTitles(); |
- Description
- returns the titles of all actions currently on the Redo stack, from top to bottom
- See also
- XUndoAction::Title
|
|
clear
- Description
- clears the undo and the redo stack.
All actions will be removed from both the Undo and the Redo stack. Actions which implement the
::com::sun::star::lang::XComponent interface will be disposed.
- Throws
- UndoContextNotClosedException
if the method is invoked while an undo context is still open
|
|
clearRedo
- Description
- clears the redo stack.
All actions will be removed from the Redo stack. Actions which implement the ::com::sun::star::lang::XComponent
interface will be disposed.
- Throws
- UndoContextNotClosedException
if the method is invoked while an undo context is still open
|
|
reset
- Description
- resets the Undo manager
In particular, this method will
- remove all locks from the undo manager
- close all open undo contexts
- clear the undo stack
- clear the redo stack
Note that possible listeners will not get notifications for the single parts of the reset, i.e. there
will be no single XUndoManagerListener::allActionsCleared,
XUndoManagerListener::leftContext, etc., notifications. Instead, listeners will be
notified of the reset by calling their XUndoManagerListener::resetAll method.
|
|
addUndoManagerListener
- Description
- adds a listener to be notified of changes in the Undo/Redo stacks.
|
|
removeUndoManagerListener
- Description
- removes a previously added listener
