How to call another program from DW. Extension help?

[paul]

HI! I want to be able to call another program *.exe from within DW and have
its own button on the object bar. Is there an API function for this?

Example. To have a button called let's say "Thumbs Plus" that would launch
an application called thumbs.exe from the users machine. Is this possible?

Paul,

Try using this:

MM.runCommandLine( commandString );

HTH,
Randy

or this, if you want to open the current document in another program:

dreamweaver.openWithApp(dreamweaver.getDocumentPat h("document"),
theEditorPath);

HI! Why is the MM.runCommendLine not in API live Docs?

I dunno. All I did was search the Configuration folder (hint).
