Can I programmatically add custom Substitution Components in FP2000?

[Vince C.]

Hi.

I'd like to extend FrontPage 2000 editor with my own list of substitution
components. Is there a way to add substitution variables programmatically (i.e.
those that get pulled from Web Site Parameters when Insert > Component > Insert
Variable).

Note: I'm using a French version of FrontPage so bear with my translation.

Thanks for any hint/suggestion.

You would need to access the setBotAttribute Method

The bots are described at

Thanks, Stefan.

If I read it well this is about inserting a webbot into a web page that is
currently edited. Whereas my aim is to store new parameters programmatically
just as if I had opened the "Web parameters" dialog and added name/value pairs.
I'd like to do this programmatically without prompting the box instead.

I saw these name/value pairs are stored in a file called "service.cnf" in a web
site _vti_cnf folder. It's a FrontPage folder. I can always add/remove lines to
that file by code but I bet there is another way?

The setBotAttribute Method should actually set the value
You will need to call the bot and set it's attribute (your value)

Thanks, Stefan. I'll try it.
