Hooking the secure UnitFrame pop-up

Hello all,

I have some trouble working out how the new secure stuff should be handled... This code worked fine untill patch 2.0...

I first add a menu command to the UnitFrame menu's:

Code:

table.insert(UnitPopupMenus["PLAYER"], 8, "MYMOD");
table.insert(UnitPopupMenus["FRIEND"], 4, "MYMOD");

Then I hook the UnitPopup function:

Code:

MyOrig_UnitPopup_OnClick = UnitPopup_OnClick;
UnitPopup_OnClick = My_UnitPopup_OnClick;

The function My_UnitPopup_OnClick consists of some text output to the default chatframe:

Code:

local dropdownFrame = getglobal(UIDROPDOWNMENU_INIT_MENU);
local val = this.value;
local unit = dropdownFrame.unit;
local name = dropdownFrame.name;
if (val == "MYMOD") then
  -- Retrieve some info, output some text.
end

The above hooking works fine as long it concerns safe functions, but gives the famous "... has been blocked from an action ..."-error as soon as one tries to select eg. duel, or dismiss pet.

Ok so, this needs to be done secure. No problem, so I changed the hooking code to:

Code:

hooksecurefunc("UnitPopup_OnClick", My_UnitPopup_OnClick);

Interesting but true: Nothing changed... I still get the same error. I am puzzled as I really do not execute any "harmfull code" when an option is selected that isn't mine.

Would love to see your expert options on this!

Greetings!
