The .toc for your addon (the ## Dependencies: means the Incomming addon will load first.)
Lua Code:
  1. ## Interface:  90205
  2. ## Title: Sharpedge Inc
  3. ## Author: Sharpedge
  4. ## Version: 1.0.0
  5. ## Dependencies: Incoming
  6.  
  7. Sharpedge.lua

The Sharpedge.lua (or whatever you've called it)
Lua Code:
  1. local Incoming = CreateFrame("Frame", "SharpedgeIncommingFrame", UIParent, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate");
  2. Incoming:SetBackdrop({
  3.       bgFile="Interface\\DialogFrame\\UI-DialogBox-Background", 
  4.       edgeFile="Interface\\DialogFrame\\UI-DialogBox-Border", 
  5.       tile=1, tileSize=32, edgeSize=32, 
  6.       insets={left=11, right=12, top=12, bottom=11}
  7. })
  8. Incoming:Hide() 
  9. LocationMessageView:SetParent(Incoming)
  10. LocationMessageView:Show()
  11. LocationMessageView:ClearAllPoints()
  12. LocationMessageView:SetPoint("TOP")
  13. LocationMessageView:SetMovable(false)
  14. LocationMessageView:EnableMouse(false)Incoming:SetWidth(139)
  15. Incoming:SetHeight(190)
  16. Incoming:SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent)
  17. Incoming:EnableMouse(true)
  18. Incoming:SetMovable(true)
  19. Incoming:RegisterForDrag("LeftButton")
  20. Incoming:SetScript("OnDragStart", function(self) self:StartMoving() end)
  21. Incoming:SetScript("OnDragStop", function(self) self:StopMovingOrSizing() end)
  22. Incoming:SetFrameStrata("FULLSCREEN_DIALOG")
  23.  
  24. local button = CreateFrame("button","IncomingButton", Incoming, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
  25. button:SetHeight(24)
  26. button:SetWidth(60)
  27. button:SetPoint("BOTTOM", Incoming, "BOTTOM", 0, 10)
  28. button:SetText("Close")
  29. button:SetScript("OnClick", function(self)  self:GetParent():Hide() end)
  30.  
  31.  
  32. SLASH_SHARPEDGEINC1 = "/sinc"
  33. SlashCmdList.SHARPEDGEINC = function(msg)
  34.     Incoming:SetShown(not Incoming:IsShown())
  35. end

use /sincor whatever you renale "/sinc" to instead of /inc
Ok, everything is inside that panel now. Fits just right. But, the only button that works is the Close button. Whenever I click any of the others I get this message:

Code:
Message: [string "Incoming:OnClick"]:1: attempt to index global 'location_message_controller' (a nil value)

Count: 1
Stack: [string "Incoming:OnClick"]:1: attempt to index global 'location_message_controller' (a nil value)
[string "*:OnClick"]:1: in function <[string "*:OnClick"]:1>

Locals: self = Incoming {
 0 = <userdata>
}
button = "LeftButton"
down = false
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = "attempt to index global 'location_message_controller' (a nil value)"
