Commands
receiveArguments()
Description
This function processes any arguments that pass from a menu item or from the
dw.runCommand()
function.
Arguments
{arg1}, {arg2},...{argN}
•
If the
arguments
attribute is defined for a
menuitem
tag, the value of that attribute passes to the
receiveArguments()
function as one or more arguments. Arguments can also pass to a command by the
dw.runCommand()
function.
Returns
Dreamweaver expects nothing.
windowDimensions()
Description
This function sets specific dimensions for the Parameters dialog box. If this function is not defined, the window
dimensions are computed automatically.
Note: Do not define this function unless you want an Options dialog box that is larger than 640 x 480 pixels.
Arguments
platform
•
The value of the platform argument is either
"macintosh"
or
"windows"
, depending on the user’s platform.
Returns
Dreamweaver expects a string of the form
"widthInPixels,heightInPixels"
.
The returned dimensions are smaller than the size of the entire dialog box because they do not include the area for the
OK and Cancel buttons. If the returned dimensions do not accommodate all options, scroll bars appear.
Example
The following example of the
windowDimensions()
function sets the dimensions of the Parameters dialog box to 648
x 520 pixels:
function windowDimensions(){
return "648,520";
}
