Undo/redo in OCAF

Hi there,

I got a question concerning the undo/redo function in OCAF. I tried to understand how to realize a undo/redo-function by looking at the source code of the OCAF-sample.

Is it right that I have to specify the beginning of the commands that the user can undo with D->NewCommand();, as it is written in line 354 of SampleOcafDoc.cpp-file of the OCAF-Sample? Do I specify the end of the command-sequence that should be undone with D->CommitCommand();, as it is written in line 372 in the same file? Does this mean, that everything that stands between those two commands will be undone, when the undo-method is called?

Thanks for your help,

Christian Alvarez

Hello Christian,

To define the begin and theend of a transaction use NewCommand() method of TDocStd, like the following:

D->NewCommand(); //Closes the previous and opens

//a new transaction

//Some OCAF command's calls

D->NewCommand(); //Look above comment ;-)

if you need to undo the last transaction call Undo() method.

Best Regards.

Sergey.

PS For better understanding the OCAF transaction mechanism and how OCAF works look at the sources or consider taking OCAF training course.
