DisplayPreviousPage() Method

In This Topic

Displays the previous page, if any is available, of the document currently loaded in the GdViewer control. You can use the CurrentPage property to determine the currently displayed page.

The PageDisplayed and the PageChanged events are raised after the page has been successfully displayed and changed.

Be aware that the SaveAnnotationsToPage method is called internally before each page change.

'Declaration
 
Public Function DisplayPreviousPage() As GdPictureStatus

public GdPictureStatus DisplayPreviousPage()

public function DisplayPreviousPage(): GdPictureStatus;

public function DisplayPreviousPage() : GdPictureStatus;

public: GdPictureStatus DisplayPreviousPage();

public:
GdPictureStatus DisplayPreviousPage();

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK. We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks

Please note that if no previous page is available, this method does nothing and returns GdPictureStatus.Aborted.

Just to remind you that both the PageDisplayed and the PageChanged events are raised using this method.
