The StartUpdateElement/EndUpdateElement methods record and add changes of the current element to the control's Undo/Redo queue. You can use the StartBlockUndoRedo / EndBlockUndoRedo methods to group multiple Undo/Redo operations into a single-block. The AllowUndoRedo property specifies whether the control supports undo/redo operations for objects (elements, links, ...). No entry is added to the Undo/Redo queue if no property is changed for the current element. Each call of the StartUpdateElement must be succeeded by a EndUpdateElement call. The UndoListAction property lists the Undo actions that can be performed in the chart. The RedoListAction property lists the Redo actions that can be performed in the chart.

The StartUpdateElement/EndUpdateElement methods can record changes for the following properties only:

• Type, defines the element's type (default and control)
• Control, Specifies the identifier of the inner control hosted by the current element (only if the Type is exElementHostControl)
• License, Indicates the runtime license required to create the inner control (only if the Type is exElementHostControl)
• Caption, gets or sets a value that indicates the HTML caption to be displayed on the element
• Parent, defines the element's parent (when the element is part of a hierarchy)
• ChildPosition, specifies the position of the element while it is a child element (when the element is part of a hierarchy)
• ID, defines the element's unique identifier
• Format, specifies the way the control shows the parts of the element
• AutoSize, specifies if the element computes its size automatically
• ShowCheckBox, shows or hides the element's check-box
• X, specifies the element's x-position
• Y, specifies the element's y-position
• Width, specifies the width of the element
• Height, specifies the height of the element
• Expanded, expands or collapses an element (by default, the UI expand/collapse of the elements are not recorded into the Undo/Redo queue)
• Visible, shows or hides the element
• Enabled, enables or disables the element
• Checked, checks or un-checks the element (by default, the UI check/uncheck of the elements are not recorded into the Undo/Redo queue)

• "UpdateElement;ELEMENTID", indicates that one or more properties of the element has been updated, using the StartUpdateElement / EndUpdateElement methods

within the UndoListAction/RedoListAction result.
