Purpose

Sometimes it is desirable to omit the navigation to a window (loaded through the button control) from re-appearing when the "back remote button" is pressed (for example); this is useful in wizard implementations for example.

We have added skin support to the button control to specify whether window history should track navigation to a page.

Description of change

The button control uses a <hyperlink> attribute to specify the window id for the window to navigate to when the button is selected. A sub-attribute for hyperlink called <history> (yes/no) allows the skin designer to exclude the window from being tracked in the navigation history.
