dreamweaver.runCommand()

Availability

Dreamweaver 3.0

Description

Executes the specified command. To the user, the effect is the same as choosing the command from a menu; if a dialog box is associated with the command, it appears (and the command script blocks other edits until the user dismisses the dialog box). This function provides the ability to call a command from another extension file.

Note: This function can be called only within the objectTag() function or in any script in a command, Property Inspector file, or menu.

Arguments

commandFile, {commandArg1}, {commandArg2},...{commandArgN}

commandFile is the name of a file in the Configuration/Commands folder.
The second and remaining arguments are passed to commandFile as arguments.

Returns

Nothing.

Enabler

None.

Example

You can write a custom Property inspector for tables that lets users get to the Format Table command from a button on the inspector by calling the following function from the button's onClick event handler:

function callFormatTable(){
	dw.runCommand('Format Table.htm');
}
