Duplicate Check's Duplicate Prevention in custom VisualForce pages is only available in the Advanced edition and up.

Apex code

Just add the following lines just before you execute the Insert or Update statement in your Apex Extension class.

    dupcheck.dc3Api api = new dupcheck.dc3Api();
ApexPages.Message prevention = api.doDuplicatePrevention(**ObjectData**);
if (prevention != null) {
   ApexPages.addMessage(prevention);
   return null;
}

Replace the **ObjectData** with the object you are adding or updating.
