Yeah, that was my concern when I initially dealt with it via filters. My other concern was that filters are checked quite early on in CF_MEH and the message could potentially (albeit a slim chance)...

Gotcha, sorry.

local filterFunc = function(self, event, ...)
-- do stuff;
end
ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter("AN_EVENT", filterFunc);

I'm not sure what it would default to actually.

I'd just assumed that Phanx had written it that way to avoid global table lookups all the time.

Oooof.

I see your point about not getting the event until all of the ChatFrame's OnEvent code has already run. Should be easily fixed though ty.

I think there's been some confusion. Blizzard set up channel colouring precisely so that people would associate colours with channels, so I'm not really sure what you mean. The channel the message...

I'm pretty sure that I've found a good way of getting everything I need now, using Ravagernl's suggestion.

But that points to CF_MEH which is where 'self' is coming from. I know that MessageEventHandler is passed with chat frame as it's 1st arg. Filters don't. If you check out...

MessageEventFilters have nothing to do with frames, so the chat frame isn't it's first argument (event is). The filter doesn't need to know which frame (if any) a message will be displayed on. It...

I implemented a function using event filters very much like the one suggested in your first post. It worked well, but like you'd said in that post, I still needed to get round the issue of working...

Yeah, I like the idea of simply hooking ChatFrame_MessageEventHandler too. I think I may be able to accomplish everything with that one hook. I'll put something together and find out.

That's great to know, thanks.

I need to know the message type (ChatTypeInfo) and the Chat Frame it was posted to.
