WebBrowser::GoBack Method ()
Navigates the WebBrowser control to the previous page in the navigation history, if one is available.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Return Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the navigation succeeds; false if a previous page in the navigation history is not available.
The WebBrowser control maintains a history list of all the Web pages visited during a browsing session. You can use the GoBack method to implement a Back button similar to the one in Internet Explorer, which will allow your users to return to a previous page in the navigation history.
Use the CanGoBack property to determine whether the navigation history is available and contains a previous page. Handle the CanGoBackChanged event to receive a notification when the CanGoBack property value changes. Handling this event is useful, for example, to change the enabled state of a Back button when the WebBrowser control navigates to or leaves the beginning of the navigation history.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the GoBack method to implement a Back button for the WebBrowser control similar to the one in Internet Explorer. This example requires that your form contains a WebBrowser control called webBrowser1 and a Button control called backButton.
For the complete code example, see How to: Add Web Browser Capabilities to a Windows Forms Application.
// Navigates WebBrowser1 to the previous page in the history. void backButton_Click( System::Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ ) { this->WebBrowser1->GoBack(); } // Disables the Back button at the beginning of the navigation history. void WebBrowser1_CanGoBackChanged( System::Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ ) { this->backButton->Enabled = this->WebBrowser1->CanGoBack; }
for immediate callers to use this control. Demand value: LinkDemand; NIB: Named Permission Sets: FullTrust.
