Description
Executes the specified command; it works the same as selecting 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 closes the dialog box. This function provides the ability to call a command from
another extension file.
Note: This function can be called within the objectTag() function, from any script in a command file,
or from the Property inspector file.
Arguments
commandFile
, {commandArg1}, {commandArg2},...{commandArgN}
• The commandFile argument is a filename in the Configuration/Commands folder.
• The remaining arguments, commandArg1, commandArg2, and so on, which are optional, pass
to the
receiveArguments() function in the commandFile argument.
Returns
Nothing.
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(){
dreamweaver.runCommand('Format Table.htm');
}
