EXTENDING DREAMWEAVER CS4

Toolbars

Example

function canAcceptCommand()

{

return (dw.getDocumentDOM() != null);

}

getCurrentValue()

Availability
Dreamweaver MX.

Description
Returns the current value to display in the item. Dreamweaver calls the

getCurrentValue()

function for pop-up

menus, combo boxes, text boxes, and color pickers. For pop-up menus, the current value should be one of the items
in the menu. If the value is not in the pop-up menu, Dreamweaver selects the first item. For combo boxes and text
boxes, this value can be any string that the function returns. For color pickers, the value should be a valid color, but
Dreamweaver does not enforce this. This function is equivalent to the

value

attribute.

Arguments
None.

Returns
Dreamweaver expects a string that contains the current value to display. For the color picker, the string contains the
RGB form of the selected color (for example, #FFFFFF for the color white).

Example

function getCurrentValue()

{

var title = "";
var dom = dw.getDocumentDOM();
if (dom)

title = dom.getTitle();

return title;

}

getDynamicContent()

Availability
Dreamweaver MX.

Description
This function is required for pop-up menus and combo boxes. As with menus, this function returns an array of strings
that populate the pop-up menu. Each string can optionally end with

";id=id"

. If an ID is specified, Dreamweaver

passes the ID to the

receiveArguments()

function instead of the actual string to appear in the menu.
