How do I get the current Undo and Redo item in ArcMap Operation Stack?

[DianaBenedict]

Research ArcGIS Resource Center document - How to work with the operation stack:
http://help.arcgis.com/en/sdk/10.0/arcobjects_net/conceptualhelp/index.html#//000100000288000000

I found out the following: 
"The Undo and Redo methods do not remove operations from the operation stack, but rather move an internal pointer up and down the stack."

Question:
So how do I get access to the operation that ArcMap is getting ready to Undo or Redo?

History and sample code:
I have been working on trying to manage ArcMap operation stack from a custom form.  In the custom form we are actively editing data using ArcMap controls (add a sketch, modify feature, etc..) and we are also calling custom edits which are enclosed within StartOperation and StopOperation("EditOperationName"). 

In my code, I would like to evaluate the actual operation that ArcMap is getting ready to Undo or Redo and then perform a specified action if the Operation is a specified custom edit operation that was added within the edit session.  I am able to return the name of all the menu string edit operations in the IOperationStack, I am able to call the mxDoc.OperationStack.Undo and Redo methods but I have not found a way to evaluate the actual Undo or Redo operation that ArcMap is pointing to. 

Refer to the code sample below for the Undo button click:

Private Sub btnUndoLastTest_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUndoLast.Click
        'Dim pOperationStack As IOperationStack
        'pOperationStack = _mxDocument.OperationStack

        If _mxDocument.OperationStack.Count > 0 Then
            Debug.Print("Before Undo is Selected")
            For i = 0 To _mxDocument.OperationStack.Count - 1
                Dim pOper As IOperation = _mxDocument.OperationStack.Item(i)
                Debug.Print("operation number: " + i.ToString() + " Name: " + pOper.MenuString)

                If pOper.CanUndo Then
                    Debug.Print("CanUndo Operation")
                Else
                    Debug.Print("Can NOT Undo Operation")
                End If
                If pOper.CanRedo Then
                    Debug.Print("CanRedo Operation")
                Else
                    Debug.Print("Can NOT Redo Operation")
                End If
            Next

            '_editor.UndoOperation()
            Dim pOperation As IOperation = _mxDocument.OperationStack.Item(_mxDocument.OperationStack.Count - 1)
            Debug.Print("Operation Name = " + pOperation.MenuString.ToString())

            If pOperation.MenuString = "Apply Rules" Then
                'reset the IsApplyRules variable
                _geoeditWorflow.IsApplyRulesSet = False
            End If

            pOperation = Nothing

            _mxDocument.OperationStack.Undo()

            Debug.Print("After Undo is Selected")
            For i = 0 To _mxDocument.OperationStack.Count - 1
                Dim pOper As IOperation = _mxDocument.OperationStack.Item(i)
                Debug.Print("operation number: " + i.ToString() + " Name: " + pOper.MenuString)

                If pOper.CanUndo Then
                    Debug.Print("CanUndo Operation")
                Else
                    Debug.Print("Can NOT Undo Operation")
                End If
                If pOper.CanRedo Then
                    Debug.Print("CanRedo Operation")
                Else
                    Debug.Print("Can NOT Redo Operation")
                End If
            Next
        End If
End Sub

NOTE:
1) It is interesting to see that ArcMap acutually sets ALL Operations in its stack to either true or false for CanUndo or CanRedo properties regardless of wether this was the last operation that you applied undo or redo.

2) ArcMap keeps an Internal pointer to the stack and moves this pointer up and down.  So, this means that the OperationStack is NOT reorganized (or even a true STACK.POP) based on an Undo and Redo. 

Therefore it doesn't appear like there is an easy way to get the operation Item that ArcMap is getting ready to undo or redo.  You can see in ArcMap tools what the undo or redo operation name is by either hovering over the undo and redo buttons or in the standard Menu toolbar --> Edit -> Undo "Name" or Redo "Name"

Any Ideas on how I can get the name of the NEXT Undo or Redo operation?  I am trying to avoid having to write my own UndoStack and RedoStack if at all possible.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

This post has been answered by someone at the http://gis.stackexchange.com website.  It looks like I was confused as to why I did not have the RedoOperation and UndoOperation properties available and therefore kept missing their use.  Once I did the following code, I was able to evaluate exactly what I needed.

Dim pOperation As IOperation = _mxDocument.OperationStack.UndoOperation()
            Debug.Print("Operation Name = " + pOperation.MenuString.ToString())

            If pOperation.MenuString = "Apply Rules" Then
                'reset the IsApplyRules variable
                _geoeditWorkflow.IsApplyRulesSet = False
            End If

Why is this property Hidden?  It just seems like a very useful property.
