It's super easy to enable standard Browser navigation for an application. Simply set the application parameter
Application.navigation
to true.
If navigation is enabled, it's possible to use the browser buttons, Back and Forward, to navigate between your screens. But sometimes, you don't want navigation for specific screens, e.g. open a screen as modal “popup”. The modal popup is just a detail of another screen and not a real navigation target.
It's possible to disable navigation for screens. You have different options:
- Implement the interface
com.sibvisions.apps.vaadin.IIgnoreNavigation
in your work-screen class
(best option for base work-screen classes) - Add the annotation
com.sibvisions.apps.vaadin.IgnoreNavigation
to your work-screen class
(good for specific work-screen classes)
