WoWInterface - Making An itemLink Interactive/Clickable and Show Tooltip

I've hit another problem and I don't see where the issue is. I reworked how my frames work, before I was trying to 'delete' or otherwise toss used frames and create new ones for each new piece of loot dropped, but I was reading about lua and it apparently isn't going to work that way without wasting memory.

So I rewrote all of it to reuse each frame and then later reset the text.

At the top of the file, I declare these empty tables. I do a loop of 10 because less than 10 pieces of loot should drop per boss. I make a font string for the character name and add it to the table. I set it's text to " " to check if it is empty later, might not be the best way to do it but it works for now. I make a frame for the item link and also a font string for the text of that item and add them to their tables.

Code:

--[=====[

CharacterTable = {}

ItemLinkTable = {}

ItemTextTable = {}

CheckButtonTables = {}

--]=====]

for i=1, 10 do



        local CharacterFontString = BossLootFrame:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY", "GameFontNormal")

        CharacterFontString:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 15, ofs)

        CharacterFontString:SetText(" ")

        CharacterTable[i] = CharacterFontString

        

        local ItemLinkFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", "LinkFrame", BossLootFrame)

        ItemLinkFrame:SetPoint("TOP", 0, ofs)

        ItemLinkFrame:SetSize(50,10)

        ItemLinkFrame:EnableMouse(true)

        

        

        local ItemLinkText = ItemLinkFrame:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY", "GameFontNormal")

        ItemLinkText:SetPoint("CENTER")

        

        ItemLinkTable[i] = ItemLinkFrame

        ItemTextTable[i] = ItemLinkText



        ofs = ofs - 25

end

Here is the loot frame:

Code:

CreateFrame("Frame", "BossLootFrame", UIParent)



BossLootFrame:SetPoint("CENTER")

BossLootFrame:SetSize(600, 500)

BossLootFrame:SetBackdrop({

        bgFile = "Interface\\DialogFrame\\UI-DialogBox-Background",

        edgeFile = "Interface\\PVPFrame\\UI-Character-PVP-Highlight", -- this one is neat

        edgeSize = 16,

        insets = { left = 8, right = 6, top = 8, bottom = 8 },

})



BossLootFrame:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, .44, .87, 0.5) -- darkblue

BossLootFrame:SetMovable(true)

BossLootFrame:SetClampedToScreen(true)

BossLootFrame:SetHyperlinksEnabled()





BossLootFrame:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function(self, button)

        if button == "LeftButton" then

                self:StartMoving()

        end

end)

BossLootFrame:SetScript("OnMouseUp", BossLootFrame.StopMovingOrSizing)

BossLootFrame:RegisterEvent("BOSS_KILL")

BossLootFrame:RegisterEvent("ENCOUNTER_LOOT_RECEIVED")



BossLootFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)



        if event == "BOSS_KILL" then

                BossLootFrame:Show()

                

                

        elseif event == "ENCOUNTER_LOOT_RECEIVED" then

                -- BOSS DIES

                local encounterID, itemID, itemLink, quantity, itemName, fileName = ...

                --print(encounterID .. " " .. itemID .. " " .. itemLink .. " " .. quantity .. " " .. itemName .. " " .. fileName)

                

                local TableItr = 1

                

                -- FIND INDEX WITH FREE FRAME

                for i=1, 10 do

                        if CharacterTable[i]:GetText() == " " then

                                TableItr = i --SET INDEX

                                CharacterTable[TableItr]:SetText(itemName) -- set character name, works

                                break -- get outa loop

                        end

                end

                

                -- Set Text

                ItemTextTable[TableItr]:SetText(itemLink) -- Set text to itemLink, works

                

                -- Set script to that frame that contains the link, NOT WORKING

                -- Mouse over script

                ItemLinkTable[TableItr]:HookScript("OnEnter", function()

                  if (itemLink) then

                        GameTooltip:SetOwner(ItemLinkTable[TableItr], "ANCHOR_TOP")

                        GameTooltip:SetHyperlink(itemLink)

                        GameTooltip:Show()

                  end

                end)

                

                ItemLinkTable[TableItr]:HookScript("OnLeave", function()

                  GameTooltip:Hide()

                end)

                

                --[=====[ 

                -- ignore checkbuttons for now

                -- CheckButtons

                -- Check buttons done here because we only want them to appear

                -- if there was loot, not 10 by themselves

                local cb = CreateFrame("CheckButton", "AnnounceCheckButton", BossLootFrame, "ChatConfigCheckButtonTemplate")

                cb:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", -15, ofs + 7)

                cb:SetChecked(false)

                cb:HookScript("OnClick", function()

                        --do stuff

                        if cb:GetChecked() == true then

                                cb:SetChecked(false)

                        else

                                cb:SetChecked(true)

                        end

                end)

                CheckButtonsTable[TableIterator] = cb

                --]=====]





        end

end)

This code brings up the loot frame on boss death, and it shows the character names and the item links, but now the item links do not have the mouse over functionality.

Thanks in advanced!
