GetChecked() deprecated ?

Hi, when I try

Lua Code:

local name = "checkButton"
local template = "UICheckButtonTemplate"
local checkButton = CreateFrame("Button", name, UIParent, template) 
checkButton:SetPoint("CENTER", 0, 0)
checkButton.text = _G[name.."Text"]
checkButton.text:SetText("Hello World")
checkButton:SetScript("OnClick", function(self, event, arg1) 
  if self:GetChecked() then
    print("Button is checked")
  else
    print("Button is unchecked")
  end
end)

I got an error :

Message: Interface\AddOns\GearHelper\GearHelper.lua:834: attempt to call method 'GetChecked' (a nil value)

Locals: self = MyExampleCheckButton {
0 = <userdata>
text = MyExampleCheckButtonText {
}
}
event = "LeftButton"
arg1 = false
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = MyExampleCheckButton {
0 = <userdata>
text = MyExampleCheckButtonText {
}
}
(*temporary) = "attempt to call method 'GetChecked' (a nil value)"

Do you have any clue ?

change:

Lua Code:

local checkButton = CreateFrame("Button", name, UIParent, template)

into:

Lua Code:

local checkButton = CreateFrame("CheckButton", name, UIParent, template)

Just to clarify (and for others reading), nothing was changed or deprecated. The :GetChecked() method doesn't exist on a normal button object. You just needed to create the correct type of widget.
