Description
Implementing the
copyServerBehavior()
function is optional. Users can copy instances of the specified server
behavior. In the following example, this function is implemented for recordsets. If a user selects a recordset in the
Server Behaviors panel or the Data Bindings panel, using the Copy command copies the behavior to the Clipboard;
using the Cut command cuts the behavior to the Clipboard. For server behaviors that do not implement this function,
the Copy and Cut commands do nothing. For more information, see “
Scenarios in which the server behavior API
The
copyServerBehavior()
function should rely only on behavior object properties that can be converted into
strings to exchange information with the
pasteServerBehavior()
function. The Clipboard stores only raw text, so
participant
nodes in the document should be resolved and the resulting raw text should be saved into a secondary
property.
Note: The pasteServerBehavior() function must also be implemented to let the user paste the behavior into any
Dreamweaver document.
