Writing an extension

Dear Friends,

I want to write an extension for Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 and also add an autocompletion-feature.

Is there a good tutorial for adding autocompletion?
I only want to know how to create a popup with custom listed textual content
when the user begins typing an unfinished function name.

I know that I can add custom function names and keywords manually to Dreamweaver.
But in this case the extension I want to write should handle that, because those function names are dynamic.

Thank you for your help and support!
With best regards

InnoRex,

There are API calls for you to dynamically add functions to the ones
recognized by the Code Hints engine. Take a look here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_API_Ref/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f9e09bcf-7ed2.html

This reference is for DW CS4, but (I think) those calls are supported
back to DW MX.

HTH,
Randy
