That's doing more CPU work than necessary.
I see what you mean ... the problem is for my way of writing that usually I create the frames in the last part of the code of the addon and if I put the create of LDB object there I was unable to build all the others part of the dataobj .


Usually I write in similar way:

Lua Code:
  1. local ADDON, namespace = ...
  2. local L = namespace.L
  3.  
  4. -- code
  5.  
  6. local LibQTip = LibStub('LibQTip-1.0')
  7. local ldb = LibStub:GetLibrary("LibDataBroker-1.1")
  8.  
  9. local dataobj = ldb:NewDataObject(ADDON, {
  10.     type = "data source",
  11.     icon = "Interface\\Addons\\"..ADDON.."\\icon.tga",
  12.     text = "-"
  13. })
  14.  
  15. local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
  16.  
  17. local function OnRelease(self)
  18.      -- code
  19. end  
  20.  
  21. local function Button_OnClick(row, arg, button)
  22.      -- code
  23. end
  24.  
  25. local function anchor_OnEnter(self)
  26.  
  27.     arg = {}
  28.  
  29.     if self.tooltip then
  30.         LibQTip:Release(self.tooltip)
  31.         self.tooltip = nil  
  32.     end
  33.     local row,col
  34.     local tooltip = LibQTip:Acquire(ADDON.."tip", 6,"LEFT","LEFT","LEFT","LEFT","RIGHT","RIGHT")
  35.     self.tooltip = tooltip
  36.     tooltip:SmartAnchorTo(self)
  37.     tooltip:EnableMouse(true)
  38.     tooltip.OnRelease = OnRelease
  39.     tooltip.OnLeave = OnLeave
  40.     tooltip:SetAutoHideDelay(.1, self)
  41.  
  42.     row,col = tooltip:AddLine("")
  43.     row,col = tooltip:AddLine("")
  44.  
  45.     if #deaths > 0 then
  46.  
  47.         row,col = tooltip:AddLine()
  48.         tooltip:SetCell(row,1,L["Deaths Reports"],"CENTER",6)
  49.         tooltip:SetColumnTextColor(1,1,1,0)
  50.         row,col = tooltip:AddLine("")
  51.  
  52.     -- code
  53.  
  54.     row,col = tooltip:Show()
  55. end
  56.  
  57. function dataobj.OnEnter(self)
  58.     anchor_OnEnter(self)
  59. end
  60.  
  61. function dataobj.OnLeave(self)
  62.     -- Null operation: Some LDB displays get cranky if this method is missing.
  63. end
  64.  
  65. function dataobj.OnClick(self, button)
  66.    -- code
  67. end
  68.  
  69. --code
  70. frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
  71. frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
  72.    
  73.     if event == "ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA" or event == "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" then   
  74.         -- code
  75.     end
  76.    
  77.     if event == "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED" then
  78.                -- code
  79.     end
  80. end)


Thanks so much for your inputs !
