The Connection API 107
inspectConnection()
Availability
Dreamweaver UltraDev 4.
Description
Dreamweaver calls this function to initialize the dialog box data for defining a connection when
the user edits an existing connection. This process lets Dreamweaver populate the dialog box with
the appropriate connection information.
Argument
parameters
The parameters argument is the same object that the findConnection() function returns.
Returns
Nothing.
applyConnection()
Availability
Dreamweaver UltraDev 4.
Description
Dreamweaver calls this function when the user clicks OK in the connection dialog box. The
applyConnection() function generates the HTML source for a connection. Dreamweaver writes
the HTML to the Configuration/Connections/connection-name.ext include file, where connection-
name is the name of your connection (see “Create the layout for the connection dialog box.”
on page 103), and .ext is the default extension that is associated with the server model.
Arguments
None.
Returns
The HTML source for a connection. Dreamweaver also closes the connection dialog box. If a
field validation error occurs, applyConnection() displays an error message and returns an empty
string to indicate that the dialog box should remain open.
