Property Value

Type	Description
BackspaceCommand	A BackspaceCommand object that provides methods for executing the command and checking its state.

Remarks

You can invoke this command by calling the execute method.

The execute method checks the command state (obtained using the getState method) before executing, and decides whether the action can be performed. The execute and getState methods are members of the BackspaceCommand class. Usage example:

JS

richEdit.commands.backspace.execute();

To delete fields and tables using this command, they should be selected completely.

To delete table elements, use the corresponding methods (RichEditCommands.deleteTable, RichEditCommands.deleteTableCellsWithShiftHorizontally, RichEditCommands.deleteTableCellsWithShiftVertically).
