Sample layout (art is not included)

Example code (layout.lua)

cargoShip (Display) Updated less than 3 days ago!

Complete rewrite, it can now be as well be used as a lib - your old layout.lua will not work in this version without changes due to the new options.

cargoShip is a LibDataBroker display-addon and library which can only be configured through changing the Lua-code. It was designed to provide a lightweight (~13 kb mem. usage) and flexible framework for creating info blocks based on data objects.

It provides support for the following attributes (you can add more if you like):

icon, iconR, iconB, iconG, iconCoords
text, label, value, suffix
OnEnter, OnLeave, OnClick
tooltip, OnTooltipShow

You can add more of them (or change existing) by providing your custom functions in cargoShip.UpdateFunctions["attributeName"] = function(self, attribute, dataobj) end.

The addon comes with a sample layout which gives you a good start on creating and positioning your elements (in the layout.lua - with comments). Please notice that I use most likely different LDB-data sources than you do

A short function reference (see core.lua comments for detailed overview):

cargoShip("name") - returns a new info block of the specified LDB-data source
cargoShip:Get("name") - returns a table of all created blocks for this data source name
cargoShip:GetUnused() - returns a table of all unused data sources
cargoShip:PrintUnused() - prints all unused data sources in chat

Please drop a comment for your feedback, bug reports and/or suggestions.

The frame disappears, because you basically "leave" the panel and "enter" the display-block. Blizz' API about entering/leaving is not very clever, so they don't really check if the panel is still underneath your mouse (and the block).

Try to use this script:

Code:

local updateFrame = CreateFrame"Frame" updateFrame:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self) if(not MouseIsOver(f1)) then HideTop() self:Hide() end end

And add in ShowTop() the following to make use of it: updateFrame:Show()
This update-routine basically checks as soon as you entered the panel every time if your mouse is still over the frame and so bypasses the false OnLeave.

By the way, why don't you make all blocks in the panel as the panel's child with dominos:SetParent(f1) - Then you don't have to set the alpha-values for each block manually, because they inherit it from the panel.

Hope, this works, as I didn't test it

Great! Just great, this method worked. I had to do some minor modifications to code you posted:

Code:

local updateFrame = CreateFrame("Frame")
updateFrame:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self)
    if(MouseIsOver(f1)) then
        ShowTop()
        self:Show()
    else
	HideTop()
	self:Hide()
    end
end)

and everything worked as I wanted.

Also thanks for the tip to use SetParent method, my layout code looks much cleaner now :P

/script cargoShip:PrintUnused() does it, you don't need /print before it, because the function already prints it to the default chatframe.

Hello, thanks for your reply. I actually managed to make that show-on-mouseover panel:

Code:

--------> TOP PANEL
local f1 = CreateFrame("frame")
f1:SetPoint("TOP", UIParent, "TOP", 0, 0)
f1:SetWidth(350) f1:SetHeight(12)
f1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Background"})
f1:EnableMouse(true) 
f1:Show()
f1:SetAlpha(0)

local bauderrors = cargoShip("aBroker_BaudErrorFrame")
bauderrors:SetWidth(70)
bauderrors:SetPoint("TOP", UIParent, "TOP", 50, -1)
bauderrors:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
bauderrors:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local dominos = cargoShip("Dominos")
dominos:SetWidth(10)
dominos:SetPoint("LEFT", bauderrors, "RIGHT",10,0)
dominos:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
dominos:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local classtimer = cargoShip("ClassTimer")
classtimer:SetWidth(10)
classtimer:SetPoint("LEFT", dominos, "RIGHT", 10, 0)
classtimer:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
classtimer:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local dbm = cargoShip("Deadly Boss Mods")
dbm:SetWidth(40)
dbm:SetPoint("LEFT", classtimer, "RIGHT", 10, 0)
dbm:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
dbm:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local panda = cargoShip("Panda")
panda:SetWidth(55)
panda:SetPoint("LEFT", dbm, "RIGHT", 10, 0)
panda:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
panda:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local volume = cargoShip("Volumizer")
volume:SetWidth(15)
volume:SetPoint("LEFT", bigwigs, "RIGHT", 10, 0)
volume:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
volume:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local ora = cargoShip("oRA2")
ora:SetWidth(50)
ora:SetPoint("RIGHT", bauderrors, "LEFT", -5, 0)
ora:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
ora:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local nametoggle = cargoShip("Broker_NameToggle")
nametoggle:SetWidth(80)
nametoggle:SetPoint("RIGHT", ora, "LEFT", -5, 0)
nametoggle:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
nametoggle:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local hatter = cargoShip("aBroker_Hatter")
hatter:SetWidth(55)
hatter:SetPoint("RIGHT", nametoggle, "LEFT")
hatter:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
hatter:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local buffet = cargoShip("Buffet")
buffet:SetWidth(20)
buffet:SetPoint("RIGHT", hatter, "LEFT")
buffet:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
buffet:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

function ShowTop()
local a1 = 1
bauderrors:SetAlpha(a1)
dominos:SetAlpha(a1)
classtimer:SetAlpha(a1)
panda:SetAlpha(a1)
volume:SetAlpha(a1)
ora:SetAlpha(a1)
nametoggle:SetAlpha(a1)
hatter:SetAlpha(a1)
buffet:SetAlpha(a1)
dbm:SetAlpha(a1)
end

function HideTop()
local a1 = 0 
bauderrors:SetAlpha(a1)
dominos:SetAlpha(a1)
classtimer:SetAlpha(a1)
panda:SetAlpha(a1)
volume:SetAlpha(a1)
ora:SetAlpha(a1)
nametoggle:SetAlpha(a1)
hatter:SetAlpha(a1)
buffet:SetAlpha(a1)
dbm:SetAlpha(a1)
end

HideTop()
f1:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
f1:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

It works fine, but there is some kind of conflict with couple of launchers like dominos and dbm in my case:

for some reason when I mouseover one of those launchers on that panel whole panel vanishes and tooltip spawns instead.

e.g.
pic1: mouseover any element in that screen area - my panel shows up
http://idfiles.homeip.net/UploadImag...009_001831.jpg

pic2: and when I mouseover dominos launcher the panel disappears
http://idfiles.homeip.net/UploadImag...009_002219.jpg

If I remove tooltip spawning code in those launchers (i.e. onEnter/Leave handlers) everything works fine, but without tooltips which is sad

Monolit A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 10 Uploads: 0	Excellent addon, thanks for your work! 15 Kib vs 350-ish (ButtonBin) I managed to fix my layout in about 10 minutes, though there is 1 feature I miss: With ButtonBin I used to hide most of the config launchers on the bar which was only visible on mouseover, so is there a way to make my data blocks visible only when I mouseover certain region? EDIT: also if I understood it correctly /print cargoShip:PrintUnused() should print the names of all unused LDB blocks in my chat frame, but it doesn't (returns nil). Am I missing something?
