onclick

Greetings, I am trying to have a few custom frames on my screen that when clicked perform an action, ie a spel l or something. There was a youtube video but it was so grainy I couldn't read what he was typing lol.
For example with a typical frame what precisely do I type in OnClick to make a spell cast? I have intercept mouse clicks enabled.
I've searched all over the web but I can't get the syntax correct for the damnable thing.

I have a question/request.

If this is possible, its a question. If it's not, its a request.

Im requesting/questioning that it be made possible to automatically set specific frame's colors to the class color corresponding with the class your playing. This would be fantastic for UI's such as mine, which feature your panels as a passive graphic.

You cant cast a spell with a panel, it requires a secure button to do that and kgPanels are not secure buttons. IF you are really adevntrous you could create a secure button in your onload code and do all the secure header stuff but its pretty complicated for a novice to do as you have to define all headers and make the button the actual click spot and not the panel.

Trying to do activation of a panel background on spell use

I'm trying to activate one of my panels with a particular background based on a characters spellcast. For instance I have an entire UI set up for my Druid character but I want to change the background of an activate panel to contain a graphic of a bear, boomkin, etc depending on what form I am in.

Conversely I want to be able to change panel backgrounds based on a certain spell being cast, whether I need to use spellid or what I don't know.

Any idea where I can find some sample code for this or I can get the general idea? I can do a partial work around for this using Power Auras using custom art textures (512x512 max) but only for spells considered buffs, aka Tree of Life, Bear Form, etc. If I wanted to change based on Warlock pet, mounted status, etc I am unable to do it.

Any thoughts?

Please help=)
you don't need a script. All you need to do is make your Pet Frame the Parent Frame of the panel you are setting up.

In order to find the Parent Frame ID copy this script and make it an ingame macro

Code:
/run ChatFrame1:AddMessage(GetMouseFocus():GetName())
Then simply hit that macro while you mouse over any frame / button and it will give you the frame id.

After that you copy the name exactly as it appears (case sensitive) and throw it in ur Parent Frame / Anchor Frame and you are set.

Hi
Sorry for the probably stupid question, but I'm totally new to this
I'm trying to bind the SLDataText elements to a kg panel, giving them
"kgPanel1" as a parent frame. Unfortunately every time I add new panels, the numbers mix, and it would be very time consuming to refresh parent frames manually every time. I tried using the kgpanel name as a parent frame, but
then I get a message "Couldn't find a region named xxxx".
Is there a way to use the panel names instead of "kgPanelxxx"?
Or is it just a SLDT bug?

its not a bug with sldt, kgpanels recycles panels, I do provide an API so other addons can get the correct panel id at any given time. What you need todo is this:

in your panel, add a script to reparent the sdlt data to your panel. add an onload script and set SDLT as a script dependency so the script doesnt execute till SDLT loads.

scripting-hide show

I posted this in the forums also, but wasn't getting a lot of results there.
--------------------------------------
Hi there, I have a couple questions.

I have a tabbing system in my UI, so you can select a "meters" tab to view your meters, and a "bars" tab to view extra action bars, etc. Let's look at a sample code:
SkadaBarWindowthreat:Show()
SkadaBarWindowSkada:Show()
BT4BarBagBar:Hide()
BT4BarStanceBar:Hide()
BT4Bar5:Hide()
BT4Bar6:Hide()
BT4Bar7:Hide()

This will work so long as the two specific windows in Skada exist and the specific bars in bartender are enabled (and both addons are available). My system's a lot more complicated than this, so there are a lot of elements, all of which NEED to exist (be turned on/installed) or the scripts lose their references and start giving me the brown lua crown.

I know I can resolve this with if statments that check for existence of the objects first. What kind of syntax do I use?

I tried something like this

if SkadaBarWindowThreat:Exists() then
SkadaBarWindowthreat:Show()
if SkadaBarWindowSkada:Exists() then
SkadaBarWindowthreat:Show()
end

--------------------------------------

Also, I have some buttons that I want to simply toggle some elements. I'm using the OnClick event I thought it would be straight forward, but what it does is it hides/shows the element for as long as the mouse button is held. Once released, it reverts back to what it was in the first place.

Here's the script I use to attempt it

if BT4Bar3:IsVisible() then
BT4Bar3:Hide()
else
BT4Bar3:Show()
end

-------------------------------------
Lastly, I cannot find anything that documents how to invoke a command or macro. Is this because of the whole "secure actions" issue?
I want a panel that I can click that invokes the
/grid standby
command. Otherwise, if I just hide Grid, Grid will come back up eventually probably due to refreshing of itself.


Any help that I can get on any of these three issues is most appreciated.

You can do
Code:
if SkadaBarWindowThreat then
   -- do stuff to that bar, its a global variable so if skada didnt load/not loaded
   -- you check for it here
end
For your click actions
Panels didnt have a click handler just mouse pressed and released
there is a vairable that is set to tru so you can react appropiatly

i.e. if pressed
OR
if released

Sorry but that was done so you could do not only OnEnter andOnLeave
but make choices based on click state.
Code:
if BT4Bar3:IsVisible() and presssed then
BT4Bar3:Hide()
else if pressed then
BT4Bar3:Show()
end
And for third, yes thats securebutton code stuff, if you really want in your onLoad, you could create a Securebutton, parent it to your panel and plac eit above the panel itself and add a secureclick action.

Hy,

I would like to make a Panel auto/hide when mouse is not over.

I think it has to do with OnEnter and OnLeave but I don't know what to put in script.

Thanks !
