IncrementalSearch.DeleteCharAndBackup Method
Removes one character from the search pattern and moves the selection back to the previous match.
Namespace: EnvDTE80
Assembly: EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Function DeleteCharAndBackup As vsIncrementalSearchResult
vsIncrementalSearchResult DeleteCharAndBackup()
vsIncrementalSearchResult DeleteCharAndBackup()
abstract DeleteCharAndBackup : unit -> vsIncrementalSearchResult
function DeleteCharAndBackup() : vsIncrementalSearchResult
Return Value
Type: EnvDTE80.vsIncrementalSearchResult
A vsIncrementalSearchResult enumeration.
Remarks
DeleteCharAndBackup effectively reverses the last search action. The last character in the pattern is removed and the selection is moved to the previous match (regardless of the direction of the search.)
