The Shared folder contents 381
Other folders
The following list describes other folders of interest in the Shared folder:
• Controls
The Controls folder contains the elements used to build a server behavior. These controls
include interfaces for text and recordset menus.
Note: These controls are used by the Dreamweaver Server Behavior Builder and by many of
Dreamweaver’s server behaviors but some are useful for managing a control in your extension.
• Fireworks
The Fireworks folder has the supporting files for Fireworks integration.
• UltraDev
Dreamweaver maintains this folder primarily for backward compatibility, and it should not be
used for new extensions. Use the Dreamweaver Configuration/Shared/Common folder, where
most of this functionality also exists. See “The Common folder” on page 376.
