Code functions 491
■ The casesensitive argument, which is optional, specifies whether the pattern is case-
sensitive. The possible values for the
casesensitive argument are the Boolean values
true or false. The value defaults to false if you omit this argument. If the
casesensitive argument is a true value, the Code Hints menu appears only if the text
that the user types exactly matches the pattern that the pattern attribute specifies. If the
casesensitive argument is a false value, the menu appears even if the pattern is
lowercase and the text is uppercase.
Returns
Nothing.
Example
If the user creates a record set called "myRs", the following code would create a menu for myRS:
dw.codeHints.addMenu(
"CodeHints_object_methods", // menu is enabled if object methods are
enabled
"myRS.", // pop up menu if user types "myRS."
new Array("firstName", "lastName"), // items in drop-down menu for myRS
new Array("firstName", "lastName"), // text to actually insert in
document
null, // no icons for this menu
"ASP_VB, ASP_JS"); // specific to the ASP doc types
dreamweaver.codeHints.addFunction()
Availability
Dreamweaver MX.
Description
Dynamically defines a new function tag. If there is an existing function tag with the same
pattern and document type, this function replaces the existing
function tag.
Arguments
menuGroupId, pattern, {doctypes}, {casesensitive}
■ The menuGroupId argument is the ID string attribute of a menugroup tag.
■ The pattern argument is a string that specifies the pattern attribute for the new
function tag.
■ The doctypes argument, which is optional, specifies that this function is active for only
certain document types. You can specify the
doctypes argument as a comma-separated
list of document type IDs. For a list of Dreamweaver document types, see the
Dreamweaver Configuration/Documenttypes/MMDocumentTypes.xml file.
