MMDB.popupConnection()
Availability
Dreamweaver MX.
Description
This function invokes a connection dialog box. This function has the following three
signatures:
■ If the argument list consists only of dialogFileName (a string), the popupConnection()
function makes Dreamweaver open the Connection dialog box so you can define a
new connection.
■ If the argument list consists only of connRec (a connection reference), the
popupConnection() function makes Dreamweaver launch the Connection dialog box in
edit mode for editing the named connection. In this mode, the name text field is dimmed.
■ If the argument list consists of connRec and the Boolean value bDuplicate, the
popupConnection() function makes Dreamweaver open the Connection dialog box in
duplicate mode. In this mode, the name text field is blanked out, and the remaining
properties are copied to define a duplicate connection.
Arguments
dialogFileName
or
connRec
