- - kgPanels Button (https://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50045)

Hiya. I'm trying to make a button using kgPanels. I want it to open/close my bags. I also want it to show/hide a different kgPanel when I click it and also when I press the "B" key to open/close my bags.

In your button panel, use these scripts:

OnLoad

local ToggleAllBags = ToggleAllBags -- Create a local reference to the original ToggleAllBags function before we hook it
hooksecurefunc("ToggleAllBags", function() -- Hook the global ToggleAllBags to call the OnClick method of this panel
    self:OnClick()
end)
 
function self:OnClick()
    ToggleAllBags() -- Call the local reference to ToggleAllBags
    OtherPanel:SetShown(not OtherPanel:IsShown()) -- Change OtherPanel to the name of the other panel
end

OnClick

lua Code:

self:OnClick()

In your other panel, add this to the OnLoad script:

lua Code:

OtherPanel = self -- Change OtherPanel to the desired name of this panel

In both OnLoad scripts, change OtherPanel to some unique name for your panel.

Rather than setting that global "OtherPanel" in the second panel's OnLoad script, you should just use the method kgPanels provides for accessing other panels:

Code:

function self:OnClick()

    ToggleAllBags() -- Call the local reference to ToggleAllBags

    local OtherPanel = kgPanels:FetchFrame("Name of the second panel")

    OtherPanel:SetShown(not OtherPanel:IsShown())

end

Indeed, that's a nicer solution. I forgot kgPanels had that.

Or, to make the other panel show/hide when your bags are opened/closed you can do an even *simpler* solution. Set the backpack to your panel's parent.

That worked perfectly :)
