NoTaint UIDropDownMenu

Version: 1.1

by: another [More]

Standard UIDropDownMenu global functions using protected frames and causing taints when used by third-party addons. But it is possible to avoid taints by using same functionality with that library.
Library checked more than year inside of TinyExtraBars without any taints from menus.

What is it
Library is standard code from Blizzard's files EasyMenu.lua, UIDropDownMenu.lua and UIDropDownMenuTemplates.xml with frames, tables, variables and functions renamed to:

constants (typed with all CAPS): "LIB_" added at the start
functions: "Lib_" added at the start

Constants

LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MINBUTTONS
LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXBUTTONS
LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS
LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_BUTTON_HEIGHT
LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_BORDER_HEIGHT
LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_OPEN_MENU
LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_INIT_MENU
LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MENU_LEVEL
LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MENU_VALUE
LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_SHOW_TIME
LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_DEFAULT_TEXT_HEIGHT
LIB_OPEN_DROPDOWNMENUS

Functions

Lib_EasyMenu
Lib_EasyMenu_Initialize

Lib_UIDropDownMenuDelegate_OnAttributeChanged
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_InitializeHelper
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_Initialize
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_OnUpdate
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_StartCounting
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_StopCounting
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_CreateInfo
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_CreateFrames
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_AddButton
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_Refresh
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_RefreshAll
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_SetIconImage
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_SetSelectedName
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_SetSelectedValue
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_SetSelectedID
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_GetSelectedName
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_GetSelectedID
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_GetSelectedValue
Lib_UIDropDownMenuButton_OnClick
Lib_HideDropDownMenu
Lib_ToggleDropDownMenu
Lib_CloseDropDownMenus
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_OnHide
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_SetWidth
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_SetButtonWidth
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_SetText
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_GetText
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_ClearAll
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_JustifyText
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_SetAnchor
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_GetCurrentDropDown
Lib_UIDropDownMenuButton_GetChecked
Lib_UIDropDownMenuButton_GetName
Lib_UIDropDownMenuButton_OpenColorPicker
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_DisableButton
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_EnableButton
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_SetButtonText
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_DisableDropDown
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_EnableDropDown
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_IsEnabled
Lib_UIDropDownMenu_GetValue

How to use it

Add it to your toc.
Like ordinal code for UIDropDownMenu with "Lib_" instead.

1.1
Fixed first two menu's strata.

I'm not sure about that, i think that only gets triggered for multi level dropdowns when the new level should be on top of it's parent level:

What I see from sources it is called for LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS (2)

Code:

for i = 1, LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS do
	local listFrameName = "Lib_DropDownList"..i;	
	local f = CreateFrame("Button", listFrameName, nil, "Lib_UIDropDownListTemplate");

and

Code:

function Lib_UIDropDownMenu_CreateFrames(level, index)

	while ( level > LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS ) do
		LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS = LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS + 1;
		local newList = CreateFrame("Button", "Lib_DropDownList"..LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS, nil, "Lib_UIDropDownListTemplate");
		newList:SetFrameStrata("FULLSCREEN_DIALOG");

So it seems first 2 really created with lowered strata. Hmm. While new UIDropDownMenu.xml creates first 2 lists with frameStrata="FULLSCREEN_DIALOG". I think

Code:

	f:SetFrameStrata("FULLSCREEN_DIALOG");

somewhere at line 27 would fix it.

There is 3 known manuals on DropDownMenu:
WowAce from Xinhuan http://forums.wowace.com/showthread.php?t=15763
WowWiki http://www.wowwiki.com/Using_UIDropDownMenu
wowpedia http://wowpedia.org/Using_UIDropDownMenu

And thats newList:SetFrameStrata("FULLSCREEN_DIALOG") only gets triggered for multi level dropdowns or not?

It is called for every new list, i.e. for LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS at first (on addon load) and if you have more for others on Lib_UIDropDownMenu_CreateFrames.

Addig this line seems to be good for single level dropdowns, however any chance to dinamically set the strata based on the parent level + 1 strata sublevel or something? Aka the dropdown menu wont overlap higher strata level frames, like tooltips.

It is what Blizzard did. Tooltip strata higher than "FULLSCREEN_DIALOG" (see http://www.wowwiki.com/UITYPE_FrameStrata )

Both have DIALOG strata. And when you make

Code:

function Lib_ToggleDropDownMenu(level, value, dropDownFrame, anchorName, xOffset, yOffset, menuList, button, autoHideDelay)
	if ( not level ) then
		level = 1;
	end
	Lib_UIDropDownMenuDelegate:SetAttribute("createframes-level", level);
	Lib_UIDropDownMenuDelegate:SetAttribute("createframes-index", 0);
	Lib_UIDropDownMenuDelegate:SetAttribute("createframes", true);

that should call

Code:

function Lib_UIDropDownMenuDelegate_OnAttributeChanged (self, attribute, value)
	if ( attribute == "createframes" and value == true ) then
		Lib_UIDropDownMenu_CreateFrames(self:GetAttribute("createframes-level"), self:GetAttribute("createframes-index"));

and

Code:

function Lib_UIDropDownMenu_CreateFrames(level, index)

	while ( level > LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS ) do
		LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS = LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS + 1;
		local newList = CreateFrame("Button", "Lib_DropDownList"..LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS, nil, "Lib_UIDropDownListTemplate");
		newList:SetFrameStrata("FULLSCREEN_DIALOG");

so it should set FULLSCREEN_DIALOG strata. Am I miss something?

This is my dropdown script when i click on the menu button:

Lua Code:

if _G["Lib_DropDownList1"]:IsVisible() and LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_OPEN_MENU == self:GetParent() then
    Lib_CloseDropDownMenus()
else
    Lib_UIDropDownMenu_Initialize(self:GetParent(), PowaAurasOptions.DropDownMenu_Initialize)
    Lib_ToggleDropDownMenu(nil, nil, self:GetParent())
    PlaySound("igMainMenuOptionCheckBoxOn")
end

And thats newList:SetFrameStrata("FULLSCREEN_DIALOG") only gets triggered for multi level dropdowns or not?

Edit:

Lua Code:

local Lib_UIDropDownMenuDelegate = CreateFrame("Frame")
for i = 1, LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS do
    local listFrameName = "Lib_DropDownList"..i
    local f = CreateFrame("Button", listFrameName, nil, "Lib_UIDropDownListTemplate")
    f:SetFrameStrata("FULLSCREEN_DIALOG") -- THIS
    f:SetID(i)
    f:SetSize(180, 10)
    local fontName, fontHeight, fontFlags = _G["Lib_DropDownList1Button1NormalText"]:GetFont()
    LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_DEFAULT_TEXT_HEIGHT = fontHeight
    for j = 1, LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXBUTTONS do
        local b = CreateFrame("Button", listFrameName.."Button"..j, f, "Lib_UIDropDownMenuButtonTemplate")
        b:SetID(j)
    end
end

I think if your addon less than DBM you can PM link to changed sources (to skip at least renaming part) and I'll look what is wrong. Are you using easymenu stuff or making menu yourself?

Eidt: Sounds like menu STRATA less than frame's strata. And if

Code:

function Lib_UIDropDownMenu_CreateFrames(level, index)

	while ( level > LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS ) do
		LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS = LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS + 1;
		local newList = CreateFrame("Button", "Lib_DropDownList"..LIB_UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS, nil, "Lib_UIDropDownListTemplate");
		newList:SetFrameStrata("FULLSCREEN_DIALOG");

called properly strata of your menu should be FULLSCREEN_DIALOG (highest)

Yeah i checked that first too.
No easymenus, i build it myself.

Lua Code:

<Frame name = "PowaBarConfigFrame" movable = "true" parent = "UIParent" frameStrata = "DIALOG" toplevel = "true" hidden = "true" enableMouse = "true" enableKeyboard = "true">

If i set frameStrata = "HIGH", then its visible, if higher then not.

Only wondering because its working fine with the default templates with above "HIGH" strata too.

This is how it's looks like:

Edit:

Using this solves the problem:

Lua Code:

<Button name="Lib_UIDropDownListTemplate" hidden="true" frameStrata="FULLSCREEN_DIALOG" enableMouse="true" virtual="true">

Check all menu functions and constants renamed (even one left will screw everything). It fixed for me taints with TinyExtraBars and menus and there is no taints for me almost 1 year.

Well, another reason can be cascade taint between addons, when by using frame after frame taint spreads (some libraries using menus maybe etc).
