IWebBrowser2::GoBack Method

  • Article

Navigates backward one item in the history list.

Syntax

HRESULT GoBack(VOID);

Return Value

Returns S_OK if successful, or an error value otherwise.

Remarks

During a browsing session, the WebBrowser control and Windows Internet Explorer maintain a history list of all Web sites visited during a session, unless you specify the navNoHistory flag when you use the IWebBrowser2::Navigate method.

Use the DWebBrowserEvents2::CommandStateChange event to check the enabled state of backward navigation. If the event's CSC_NAVIGATEBACK command is disabled, the beginning of the history list has been reached, and the IWebBrowser2::GoBack method should not be used.
