creating a click thru frame?

Maggz · 09-30-12, 11:59 PM

ive seen some addons have an option you click to make specific frames click thru (non active) i was actually wondering how to create a simple frame that was click thru like that. i searched and had not found any other posts. So i thought i would post this out to see if someone could show me a simple clean method for performing this.

it's easy:
frame:EnableMouse(false)

And to clarify, all frames are "click-through" by default. If a frame captures mouse input, that is because it has :EnableMouse(true) set on it.

That only applies to basic "Frame" objects; "Button" objects and many others have the mouse enabled by default.

ok so then by defining a mouse enable false it would make it so my frame is clickthru ......... awesome. Reason im asking is i have an addon where it puts up AGGRO on the screen when i have aggro and sometimes i want to drop a DND or consecrate and it annoys me cause the frame by default isnt click thru. So i thank all of you for your responses and clarifications, much appreciated.
