Use „MaximizeMinimizeButtonFrameTemplate“
Hi,

is there a way to use „MaximizeMinimizeButtonFrameTemplate“ for simply OnClick Show/Hide a Frame?

You can't mouse click a hidden frame (button) in order to show it and this type of frame should already have a close (click X to hide) button.

Or maybe you mean something else?

I want to use it this way. But it doesnt work.

Lua Code:
  1. Controls.Open = CreateFrame("Button", nil, Keyboard, "MaximizeMinimizeButtonFrameTemplate ")
  2.     Controls.Open:SetSize(25, 25)
  3.     Controls.Open:SetPoint("RIGHT", Keyboard.Close, "LEFT", 0, 0)
  4.     Controls.Open:SetScript("OnClick", function(s)
  5.         if Controls:IsShown() then
  6.             Controls:Hide()
  7.         else
  8.             Controls:Show()
  9.         end
  10.     end)

The Button with the template „ MaximizeMinimizeButtonFrameTemplate“ does show up and is clickable. It does change the texture on click but doesnt do the script.

I want it so badly because its the only template fitting the default close button in style.

I see you are using "Button" as it's type. But, based on Blizzards code it is a "Frame".

Lua Code:
  1. <Frame name="MaximizeMinimizeButtonFrameTemplate" parentKey="MaxMinButtonFrame" mixin="MaximizeMinimizeButtonFrameMixin" frameLevel="510" virtual="true">

It should be just the case of changing "Button" to "Frame". But I haven't seen this frame personally to see how it works and looks out of the box. Code wise it already handles Minimize and Maximize functionality for the parent frame it is on.

I'll see if I can rig up an addon to see what it is like to make sure this is the case.


Okay, this is a really rough addon that shows how those buttons work with minimal coding.

This is the one and only lua file for a very simple addon. The issue is that where the minmax button is linked to the frame, once you hide it you can never show it again. But, you can resize the frame to suit. Which is what I did here. However, you can't resize to smaller than the minmax button or it will disappear anyway. The X close button in my example works straight out of the box and closes the frame automatically, never to be open again until the game is restarted.

I used a different trick with my portals addon by having a *header* frame that is always displayed and had it control whether the bigger portals frame *content* was displayed or not.

Lua Code:
  1. local displayFrame = CreateFrame("Frame",nil,nil,"BasicFrameTemplate")
  2. displayFrame:SetSize(200,100)
  3. displayFrame:SetPoint("CENTER")
  4.  
  5. local function OnMaximize()
  6.     displayFrame:SetSize(200,100)
  7. end
  8.  
  9. local function OnMinimize()
  10.     displayFrame:SetSize(30,30)
  11. end
  12.  
  13. displayFrame.MinMax = CreateFrame("Frame",nil,displayFrame, "MaximizeMinimizeButtonFrameTemplate")
  14. displayFrame.MinMax:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT",displayFrame,0,30)
  15.  
  16. displayFrame.MinMax:SetOnMaximizedCallback(OnMaximize)
  17. displayFrame.MinMax:SetOnMinimizedCallback(OnMinimize)
  18.  
  19. displayFrame:Show()

The UIPanelCloseButton template is the default close (X) button
Code:
<Button name="$parentCloseButton" inherits="UIPanelCloseButton">
that runs this function when clicked:
Lua Code:
  1. -- A bit ugly, we want the talent frame to display a dialog box in certain conditions.
  2. function UIPanelCloseButton_OnClick(self)
  3.     local parent = self:GetParent();
  4.     if parent then
  5.         local continueHide = true;
  6.         if parent.onCloseCallback then
  7.             continueHide = parent.onCloseCallback(self);
  8.         end
  9.  
  10.         if continueHide then
  11.             HideUIPanel(parent);
  12.         end
  13.     end
  14. end

It relies on the frame you want to hide being the direct parent of the button.

It hides the frame but as before, once hidden you can't click the close button with the mouse to show the parent frame again.

If you intend to leave the button on-screen (by parenting it to the "Keyboard" or some frame not parented to "Control") then you could replace it's OnClick script with the one you posted.

Thank you @Fizzlemizz and @Xrystal
I am on the right track now. But i still got problems.

The frame "controls" is the header of the frame "keyboard". But when i open "keyboard" the frame "controls" dont show up. I need to click "MaximizeMinimizeButtonFrameTemplate" once so it shows up minimized.

How can i add "controls" as minimized when the frame "keyboard" loads/shows?

On the other hand i cant get the buttons etc. in the control frame to work with the flag "if maximizeFlag then".

Thank you for your replies and time!

Lua Code:
  1. local name, addon = ...
  2.  
  3. function addon:CreateKeyboard()
  4.     local Keyboard = CreateFrame("Frame", 'KeyUIMainFrame', UIParent, "TooltipBorderedFrameTemplate") -- the frame holding the keys

Given you haven 't added your startup code, I may be misunderstanding the question but I think this may be closer to what you're trying to do,

Lua Code:
  1. local name, addon = ...
  2.  
  3. function addon:CreateKeyboard()
  4.     local Keyboard = CreateFrame("Frame", 'KeyUIMainFrame', UIParent, "TooltipBorderedFrameTemplate") -- the frame holding the keys
  5. --    _G["Keyboard"] = Keyboard
  6.     tinsert(UISpecialFrames, "KeyUIMainFrame")
  7.  
  8.     Keyboard:SetWidth(1099)
  9.     Keyboard:SetHeight(448)
  10.     Keyboard:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 0.9)
  11.     Keyboard:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", -300, 50)
  12.  
  13.     Keyboard:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function(self) self:StartMoving() end)
  14.     Keyboard:SetScript("OnMouseUp", function(self) self:StopMovingOrSizing() end)

As an aside, a frame with a name automatically has that name added to the global table as a reference to the frame so:
Code:
_G["Keyboard"] = Keyboard
is not required as you can refer to the frame via KeyUIMainFrame
Code:
KeyUIMainFrame:Show()
which is why it is best to make sure your frame names are unique by doing something like prefixing them with your addon name.

Blizzard will use the simplest/common names for things (including frames and globals) so words like Keyboard or Controls are not recommended on their own.

After a bit more reading of your code I redid mine above to action the MinMax and Close buttons.

I appreciate your input! Thank you, @Fizzlemizz.
The only remaining issue I have is that, even when the "maximizeFlag" is set to true, "Controls.Slider," "Controls.ShiftCB," "Controls.CtrlCB," and "Controls.AltCB" don't appear.

If I declare "local maximizeFlag = true" at the beginning of the code, they always become visible. Conversely, when I declare "local maximizeFlag = false," they remain hidden consistently. The print statement indicates that the value is changing.


Lua Code:
  1. local name, addon = ...
  2.  
  3. function addon:CreateKeyboard()
  4.     local Keyboard = CreateFrame("Frame", 'KeyUIMainFrame', UIParent, "TooltipBorderedFrameTemplate") -- the frame holding the keys
  5.     tinsert(UISpecialFrames, "KeyUIMainFrame")
  6.  
  7.     Keyboard:SetWidth(1099)
  8.     Keyboard:SetHeight(448)
  9.     Keyboard:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 0.9)
  10.     Keyboard:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", -300, 50)
  11.  
  12.     Keyboard:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function(self) self:StartMoving() end)
  13.     Keyboard:SetScript("OnMouseUp", function(self) self:StopMovingOrSizing() end)
  14.     Keyboard:SetMovable(true) -- make the keyboard moveable
  15.     Keyboard:SetScale(1)
  16.  
  17.     addon.keyboardFrame = Keyboard
  18.  
  19.     return Keyboard
  20. end
  21.  
  22. function addon:CreateControls()
  23.     local Controls = CreateFrame("Frame", 'KBControlsFrame', UIParent, "TooltipBorderedFrameTemplate")
  24.     tinsert(UISpecialFrames, "KBControlsFrame")

Because you have the
Lua Code:
  1. if maximizeFlag then
  2.          Controls.Slider = CreateFrame("Slider", "KUI_Slider1", Controls, "OptionsSliderTemplate")
  3.          --...
  4. end
inside
Code:
function addon:CreateControls()
then maximizeFlag has to set BEFORE you call the function and create the Controls frame. I can only guess you are doing that when the addon loads.

That said, you only want to call the function once as frames (widgets in general including Textures and FontStrings) are not destroyed (deleted, removed...) until you exit the game (or logout or /reload) so once created you Show/Hide them as required.

Possibly what you want to do is
Lua Code:
  1. local function OnMaximize()
  2.         Controls:SetHeight(100)
  3.         Controls:SetWidth(Keyboard:GetWidth()) 
  4.         maximizeFlag = true
  5.         print("maximizeFlag is true")
  6.         if not Controls.Slider then -- if his is the first time maximized then create the slider etc.
  7.                 Controls.Slider = CreateFrame("Slider", "KUI_Slider1", Controls, "OptionsSliderTemplate")
  8.                 -- and all the other stuff
  9.         end
  10.         Controls.Slider:Show()
  11.         -- show all the other controls on maximize
  12. end
  13. local function OnMinimize()
  14.         Controls:SetHeight(26)
  15.         Controls:SetWidth(Keyboard:GetWidth()) 
  16.         maximizeFlag = false
  17.         print("maximizeFlag is false")
  18.         Controls.Slider:Hide()
  19.         -- hide all the other controls on minimize
  20. end

It might all look something like:
Lua Code:
  1. local name, addon = ...
  2.      
  3.     function addon:CreateKeyboard()
  4.         local Keyboard = CreateFrame("Frame", 'KeyUIMainFrame', UIParent, "TooltipBorderedFrameTemplate") -- the frame holding the keys
  5.         tinsert(UISpecialFrames, "KeyUIMainFrame")
  6.      
  7.         Keyboard:SetWidth(1099)
  8.         Keyboard:SetHeight(448)
  9.         Keyboard:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 0.9)
  10.         Keyboard:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", -300, 50)
  11.      
  12.         Keyboard:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function(self) self:StartMoving() end)
  13.         Keyboard:SetScript("OnMouseUp", function(self) self:StopMovingOrSizing() end)
  14.         Keyboard:SetMovable(true) -- make the keyboard moveable
  15.         Keyboard:SetScale(1)
  16.      
  17.         addon.keyboardFrame = Keyboard
  18.      
  19.         return Keyboard
  20.     end
