Mixins are a template of methods that frames then inherit. Blizzard gives frames a mixin template in two ways: calling frame = CreateFromMixins(mixin) or in xml using the mixin="" attribute. In this case, MainMenuBar gets its methods from MainMenuBar.xml:

XML Code:
  1. <Frame name="MainMenuBar" enableMouse="true" parent="UIParent" mixin="MainMenuBarMixin">

You should be able to do this:

Lua Code:
  1. hooksecurefunc(MainMenuBar, "SetPositionForStatusBars", Test)

Kanegasi you saved my day! Thank you very much for explanation.

I hope this thread will be helpful for all beginners or coming back modders.
Very appreciate your help.

I think it's new thing from Legion maybe, don't remember mixins in Pandaria-Warlords of Draenor.
