Access frame by name

Hello.

I'm using the template UIPanelDialogTemplate and I want to override the "OnClick" event of the close button, however I don't know how to access it because it doesn't have a parent key.

Can I do it using its name? How?

Thanks.

local frame = _G["FrameName"]

You said you were using it, right? The close button has a name, it's $parentClose, so it would be whatever you named your frame with Close at the end.

Lua Code:

local myDialogFrame = CreateFrame("frame", "myDialogName", UIParent, "UIPanelDialogTemplate")
 
myDialogNameClose:SetScript("OnClick", function()
    -- whatever
end)

Thank you both.

Now I know how to access a frame by name, however I will try the second option, which seems the proper one in this case.
