Can we add buttons to existing Blizzard frames?

[hypehuman]

I'm trying to add a button to the macro window, but nothing happened. Here's my xml:

<Button name="$parentOpenSDM" parent="MacroFrame" inherits="UIPanelButtonTemplate" text="Super Duper Macro">
	<Size x="80" y="22" />
	<Anchors> 
		<Anchor point="RIGHT" relativeTo="MacroFrameCloseButton" relativePoint="LEFT" />
	</Anchors> 
	<Scripts>
		<OnClick>     </OnClick>
	</Scripts>
</Button>

Any reason why it shouldn't work?

As in like another icon to choose from?

If so (and your icon is in a tga or blp format), just create a new folder in your Interface folder called Icons and then drop your custom Icons in there. They should then show up in your icons selection for your macros. I have used this method in the past.

Actually what I wanted to do was create a button and put it on one of the frames created by Blizzard's default UI. Specifically, I am trying to add another button to the default macro window that will open to my addon window.

relativeTo="$MacroFrameCloseButton"

should be

relativeTo="$parentCloseButton" or relativeTo="MacroFrameCloseButton"

I know 100% sure this is possible, as I've seen plenty of addons that do it. So don't give up the search.

I'm gonna try and find a few addons that you may be able to use as reference material (as I can't code myself so I can't help directly ).

EDIT: I type slow lol >.>

Try what Cralor said first, no point in me looking for an addon if the solution is already there ^_^

I removed the $ and it still doesn't work :'(

The macro ui is LoadOnDemand so the MacroFrame doesn't exist on login. You can either force it to load right away by making the macro ui a dependency of your addon (not reccomended) or make your addon LoD and use LoadsWith attribute to make it load with the macro ui.
