Extension APIs

The extension APIs provide you with the functions that Dreamweaver calls to implement each
type of extension. You must write the bodies of these functions as described for each extension
type and specify the return values that Dreamweaver expects.
If you are a developer who wants to work directly in the C programming language, there is a
C extensibility API that lets you create dynamic link libraries (DLLs). The functionality that
is provided in these APIs wraps your C DLLs in JavaScript so that your extension can work
seamlessly in Dreamweaver.
The documentation of extension APIs outlines what each function does, when Dreamweaver
calls it, and what value Dreamweaver expects it to return.
See the Dreamweaver API Reference for information about the Utility API and the JavaScript
API, which provide functions that you can use to perform specific tasks in your extensions.
