Panel Stretching Full Width of screen

cokedrivers · 08-15-11, 02:29 PM

Hello again,
I'm trying to get my custom Datapanel stretch from sreenedge to screenedge. Below are the screenshots & code for what im using.

1280x800

1280x1024

Now here is the code to get the Width of the datapanel:

Code:

DataBorderPanel:SetWidth(GetScreenWidth() * UIParent:GetEffectiveScale())

As you can see by the screen shots above the 1280x800 stretches almost all the way across the screen but my native resolution 1280x1024 does not.

is there a better way to make this happen?

Thanks for any help with this issue.

I personally think it looks better like that.

DataBorderPanel:SetPoint('LEFT', UIParent, 'LEFT', 0, 0)
DataBorderPanel:SetPoint('RIGHT', UIParent, 'RIGHT', 0, 0)

and don't care about the actual width?

DataBorderPanel:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', UIParent, 'TOPLEFT', 0, 0)
DataBorderPanel:SetPoint('TOPRIGHT', UIParent, 'TOPRIGHT', 0, 0)

Mischback meant ^^

Instead of Starting a new Thread i figured i would ust add another question here.

i'm tying to now move the player frame down (in .lua i know i can do it in-game but i would rather have everyone at the same spot) so here are a few codes i have found online but none seems to move it besides one and if i get into a vehicle then it dont reset back to were i had it.

First code:
(works for the most part)

Code:

	hooksecurefunc("PlayerFrame_ResetPosition", function(self)
		self:ClearAllPoints()
		self:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", -19, -20)
	end)

2nd code:
(does not work)

Code:

	PlayerFrame:ClearAllPoints()
	PlayerFrame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", -19, -20)

3rd code:
(this one moves my targetframe but will not move the playerframe)

Code:

	local pf = PlayerFrame
	pf:ClearAllPoints()
	pf:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", -19, -20)

So here i be with 3 codes and none accually work correctly. I know 2 of them are pretty much the same thing but hey cant blame me for trying.

Thanks for anyhelp with this.
