iOS Question Re-create back button

[dieterp]

When you hide the back button and add buttons to the toolbar yourself, is it possible to re-create the back button the exact way that it will look on the device by default? I've tried several of the approaches listed in the forum, but when using fontawesome the arrow is in a slightly different position and when I try add a text field next to the arrow, it cuts off the text by using an Ellipses ...

Has anyone managed to achieve this or something close?

You are replacing Page.TopLeftButtons, right?

You can set it to be an empty list to return the default back key:

pg.TopLeftButtons = Array()

I am replacing the Page.TopLeftButtons, but I need to trap the back button click so that I can perform some tasks when the user closes the screen (Page_Disappear isn't the right solution as it fires when the user goes 'Forward' as well as 'Back').

As I understand it you can only do this by removing the default back button and placing your own bar button in there. I have managed to get all of that to work, I would just like to try maintain the look and feel of the back button across the app if possible .
