How to partially hide frame AND it's content?

[MigGat]

Hi all,

The thread title may be a little confusing so I'll post 2 images. What I really want is a collapsible frame behaviour.

Expanded:



Collapsed:



What I'm doing here is changing the frame's size (after that I'll move the frame down there so that they snap) with:

frmAYAutoMessage:SetHeight(50);

The problem is that while the frame is collapsed, all it's content is visible on the same position. Is there a better solution than hide them?

Thanks

You could use a scroll frame, without any of the scrolling and just using it for the hiding.

ScrollFrames hide parts of their child-frames if they are outside of the frame.
But they are maybe a bit too big for your issue - if I were you, i would create another (invisible) child frame which holds all your buttons, checkboxes and so on, and toggle only this one.

edit: Slakah was faster :P

I've tried with the scroll frame but when I resize, child controls keep showing on their position..

I'm trying the other solution now, creating an invisible child frame that parents all the controls and toggle it.
