EM_UNDO message

This message undoes the last edit control operation in the control's undo queue. You can send this message to either an edit control or a rich edit control.

Parameters

wParam

Not used; must be zero.

lParam

Not used; must be zero.

Return value

For a single-line edit control, the return value is always TRUE.

For a multiline edit control, the return value is TRUE if the undo operation is successful, or FALSE if the undo operation fails.

Remarks

Edit controls and Rich Edit 1.0: An undo operation can also be undone. For example, you can restore deleted text with the first EM_UNDO message, and remove the text again with a second EM_UNDO message as long as there is no intervening edit operation.

Rich Edit 2.0 and later: The undo feature is multilevel so sending two EM_UNDO messages will undo the last two operations in the undo queue. To redo an operation, send the EM_REDO message.

Rich Edit: Supported in Microsoft Rich Edit 1.0 and later. For information about the compatibility of rich edit versions with the various system versions, see About Rich Edit Controls.
