Create a single-line MessageFrame? (SOLVED)

Hello,

I can't figure how to create a single-line MessageFrame, is order to display a string during a certain time, and then fade out.

Code:

local myMsgFrame = CreateFrame("MessageFrame", "myAddon_myMsgFrame", UIParent)

myMsgFrame:SetSize(200, 20)

myMsgFrame:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT", 80, 200);

-------------- texture

local texture = myMsgFrame:CreateTexture(nil,"BACKGROUND")

texture:SetAllPoints(true)

texture:SetColorTexture(0, 0, 0, 0.6)

myMsgFrame.texture = texture

-------------- text

myMsgFrame.text = myMsgFrame:CreateFontString(nil, nil, "GameFontNormal")

myMsgFrame.text:SetPoint("topleft", 4, 1)

... ?

I would like to use it in my scripts with:

Code:

myMsgFrame:AddMessage(string, r, g, b, nil, holdTime)

Thank you.

I don't see you telling it which font to use.

Oh, yes, I know several lines are missing. That's why I wrote a question mark, because I read some online documentations but didn't understand what commands should I use.

To precisely answer your question,

Code:

"Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 11, "OUTLINE, MONOCHROME"

would be fine :)

You could use the existing UIErrorsFrame:AddExternalErrorMessage(message).

Interesting to display errors, but I would like to display different kinds of texts, not only warnings (for example, something like "Data sent" or "Updated"...)

OK, I just discovered API C_Timer.After, so I'm now able to erase a "standard" frame's text after duration.
