Chat Window-functions. (hide/show)

Hello.
This is my first attempt on creating a AddOn for World of Warcraft.
The reason is, my soon 2 years as a World of Warcraft player I've been searching for a mod that makes the Chat-window work like it does in Guild Wars.

For you who do not know how it work I'll try to explain.

The chat is by default hidden and only show a icon with a tiny "talk bubble". When you click this icon the Chat-window will show all windows and all tabs. When you click it again it will hide it.

I've been looking through: http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warc...ndow_Functions

But in my opinion it lacks some features like:
SetChatTabVisibility(index,value)
SetChatWindowVisibility(index,value)

Where index could be used for 1-10 (or whatever the max amount of windows is) or all for all tabs/windows.

Some ideas of functions:
dbChatFade(index) - index is the id of your tab/window
dbChatToggle(index) - index is the id of your tab/window

If anyone got any idea of functions to get this working I'd love to know.

Thanks in advance,
Kristian

Can't you just use HideUIPanel(ChatFrameNameWhateverItIs)??

Then use ShowUIPanel(ThatChatFrameName) to show it..
