Lua reposition frames

Hi,

Can someone explain to me why this does not work:

BNToastFrame:HookScript("OnShow", function(self)
BNToastFrame:ClearAllPoints()
BNToastFrame:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", someframe, "TOPLEFT", 0, 15)
end)

While this works like a charm...

LootFrame:HookScript("OnShow", function(self)
LootFrame:ClearAllPoints()
LootFrame:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", someframe, "TOPLEFT", 450, 250)
end)

Please?

And also is it possible to change strata of FPS frames...

FramerateLabel:SetFrameStrata("HIGH")
FramerateText:SetFrameStrata("HIGH")

not working... afaik strata for both is WORLD which is below BACKGROUND :)

The ToastFrame position may be set after OnShow is fired. You can nuke these functions by setting an empty function in their place.

Code:

BNToastFrame:ClearAllPoints()

BNToastFrame:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", someframe, "TOPLEFT", 0, 15)



local function NoOp() end--        Do nothing

BNToastFrame.ClearAllPoints=NoOp;

BNToastFrame.SetPoint=NoOp;

These are regions, not frames. You have to make a new frame and re-set their parent to it. You may also want to remove FramerateLabel from the UIPARENT_MANAGED_FRAME_POSITIONS table or strange things will happen with its anchors.

Code:

UIPARENT_MANAGED_FRAME_POSITIONS.FramerateLabel=nil;

Thank you ... this helped :)
