Menu functions
Menu functions handle optimizing and reloading the menus in Dreamweaver. The
dreamweaver.getMenuNeedsUpdating() function and the
dreamweaver.notifyMenuUpdated() function are designed specifically to prevent
unnecessary update routines from running on the dynamic menus that are built into
Dreamweaver. See dreamweaver.getMenuNeedsUpdating() and
dreamweaver.notifyMenuUpdated() for more information.
