copyServerBehavior()

Availability

Adobe Dreamweaver UltraDev 1.

Description

Implementing the copyServerBehavior() function is optional. Users can copy instances of the specified server behavior. In the following example, this function is implemented for recordsets. If a user selects a recordset in the Server Behaviors panel or the Data Binding panel, using the Copy command copies the behavior to the Clipboard; using the Cut command cuts the behavior to the Clipboard. For server behaviors that do not implement this function, the Copy and Cut commands do nothing. For more information, see How the Server Behavior API functions are called.

The copyServerBehavior() function should rely only on behavior object properties that can be converted into strings to exchange information with the pasteServerBehavior() function. The Clipboard stores only raw text, so participant nodes in the document should be resolved and the resulting raw text should be saved into a secondary property.

NOTE

The pasteServerBehavior() function must also be implemented to let the user paste the behavior into any Adobe Dreamweaver document.

Arguments

serverBehavior

The serverBehavior JavaScript object represents the behavior.

Returns

Adobe Dreamweaver expects a Boolean value: true if the behavior copies successfully to the Clipboard; false otherwise.
