Have anyone tried to externally set size or point of windows created by "Details!"?

[Layback_]

Hi all,

Title says pretty much all.

I'm currently trying to externally set size and position of windows created by "Details!".

AFAIK, Details, thankfully, offers plenty of APIs for developers to deal with. However, I could have not found an API that fulfills my need.

Thus, I have tried to modify its SV externally and also attempted to forcibly ClearAllPoints(), SetPoint() and SetSize() (externally as well), but didn't work out

I'm pretty sure there must be a way to solve this since those windows are also frames.

Could I get some help?

Thank you!


*EDIT: Seems like I figured out for sizing.

Each Details' window object has SetSize function embedded, but not for positioning

local window = Details:GetInstance(1);
window:SetSize(x, y);

However, it would mess up those built in sticky window feature if I set size this way.

I don't code, and my reply is probably not what you're looking for, but the addonskins addon from here:

http://www.tukui.org/addons/index.php?act=view&id=128

sets the windows of Details! perfectly. Maybe you can see how they do it or ask the addon author for help.

Hi niffboy,

Yeah, I've also seen AddonSkins addon to see if that could solve my concern, but unfortunately it didn't.

Thank you for your reply, anyways!

I use :ClearAllPoints() and :SetPoint(...) in a personal addon of mine (not published) successfully with Details! windows.

But I use a different method to acquire the Details! window frame object. Here's the snippet for it:

-- Look for Details! frames and use the first one available
local AlkaT_TPAMeter_testFrame, i = nil, 1;
repeat
    AlkaT_TPAMeter_testFrame = _G["Details_WindowFrame"..i];
    i = i + 1;
until AlkaT_TPAMeter_testFrame or i == 8;
AlkaTCore_Modules.TPAMeters.Meter_testFrame = AlkaT_TPAMeter_testFrame;
AlkaTCore_Modules.TPAMeters.Meter_frame = _G["DetailsBaseFrame"..i-1];

Do note I use _G["Details_WindowFrame"..i] to look for the frame but then I store _G["DetailsBaseFrame"..i-1] for later handling!

Hi aallkkaa,

Your approach seems interesting

I'll have it a shot, now and see how I go with it

Thank you!!

It worked

According to Details' API, :GetInstance(i) should return a window object, so I thought it would definitely be a frame widget, but it was in fact a plain Lua table. Thus I tried to find a frame within that table which I couldn't
