ChatFrame:SetInsertMode('TOP') ?? (prepend messages instead of append)

So I saw this UI which has the chatframe at the top of the screen rather then at the usual bottom.

I was wondering, since ChatFrame1 is a child of ScrollingMessageFrame... one should be able to call ChatFrame1:SetInsertMode('TOP') or ChatFrame1:SetInsertMode('BOTTOM'). Trying this ingame however does not seem to have any effect however, no errors in buggrabber or in FrameXML.log.

Now I'm curious how one would achieve this effect :P

ScrollingMessageFrame:AddMessage() has an 'addToTop' argument which ignores the frame's insert mode. This is used in the combat log. Perhaps you should look into that.

You could do something like:

Code:

local oldAddMessage = ChatFrame1.AddMessage



ChatFrame1.AddMessage = function(frame, text, red, green, blue, lineID, addToTop, accessID, extraData)

        return oldAddMessage(frame, text, red, green, blue, lineID, true, accessID, extraData)

end
