Use the UndoManager, a utility object, that allows you to incorporate undo/redo functionality into your application with a custom operation. When you create the UndoManager you can specify the number of operations that will be maintained on the undo/redo stack. There are several out-of-the-box operations: Add, Delete, Update, Cut and Union. In this sample we create a custom operation by inheriting from the OperationBase class. This sample creates an Add Graphic operation that is used to add undo redo behavior to an application that creates graphics.
Each time a graphic is added or removed from the application a new operation is added to the UndoManager.
Note that when creating a new operation we specify the graphics layer and the graphic. Those values are used by the custom operation to undo or redo the operation.
