EXTENDING DREAMWEAVER CS4

Menus and menu commands

setMenuText()

Description
Specifies the text that should appear in the menu.

Note: Do not use this function if you are using “

getDynamicContent()

” on page

162.

Arguments
{arg1}, {arg2},...{argN}

If the

arguments

attribute is defined for a

menuitem

tag, the value of that attribute passes to the

setMenuText()

function (and to the

canAcceptCommand()

” on page 162,

isCommandChecked()

” on page 163, and

receiveArguments()

” on page 164 functions) as one or more arguments. The

arguments

attribute is useful for

distinguishing between two menu items that call the same menu command.

Returns
Dreamweaver expects the string that should appear in the menu.

Example

function setMenuText()

{

if (arguments.length != 1) return "";

var whatToDo = arguments[0];
if (whatToDo == "undo")

return dw.getUndoText();

else if (whatToDo == "redo")

return dw.getRedoText();

else return "";

}

windowDimensions()

Description
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 a 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.
