"go back" without the go?

Post by Simon » Sun Jun 08, 2014 10:22 pm

Hi all,
"go back" returns you to the most recently visited card so liveCode is storing that information somewhere.
My question is how do I retrieve that information without having to go to that card?
previous/last/back nope.

Thanks,
Simon

As stated, recentcards will work. Just remember it lists the cards in reverse order so that the most recent card is at the top of the list.
