show and hide buttons.

weasoug · 09-01-10, 11:48 AM

Hi there all im trying to set up a semi con-fig to show or hide the emote,friends,and arrows from the chat.

but from all the ways i have tried i cant work it out.

Code:

emote = Hide
friends = Hide

ChatFrameMenuButton:emote
FriendsMicroButton:friends

I have tryed adding () as i know

Code:

FriendsMicroButton:Hide()

works.

and also maken the names local,. but no change.

also i wanted to ask what the up/down arrow code is called. as i felt it might be.

Code:

ChatFrameButtonFrame:

.

thanks for your time.

well if you really want to do it that way

Code:

emote = "Hide"
friends = "Show"
ChatFrameMenuButton[emote]()
FriendsMicroButton[friends]()

i get this error when i try that. i did try adding : and .

Code:

Interface\AddOns\Ctest\Ctest.lua:88: Attempt to find 'this' in non-table object (used '.' instead of ':' ?)
Count: 1

ChatFrameMenuButton[emote](ChatFrameMenuButton)
FriendsMicroButton[friends](FriendsMicroButton)

a:b() <==> a.b(a)
a.b <==> a["b"]

type /framestack and mouseover them to see their names.
Tho there's a chance that they'll reappear if you refresh your chat or something.
You can shut them for good overriding their 'Show' method

FriendsMicroButton.Show = function() end

helpful hehe/ thanks again

i found that
ChatFrame1ButtonFrame
will hide the arrorws but not on any of the chat tabs. this is due to the 1. is there a way to hide the same on other tabs without adding more of them.

just a quick question. can i make a code that will resize the arrows,emote,friends, when you resize that chat frame. if someone has one of theses on show.

ty again
