Just wanted to quickly point out that the text might look a little better with a space or two between the values and some brackets:

Bar.value:SetFormattedText('%s (%s)', Bar.powerName, cur)

Hey,

I'm surprised that Lombra's suggestion isn't working for you.

You could try dictating the anchor points whenever the frame shows:

In the above example, the function is replicated and _G["MyButton"..i].DoSomething is not a pointer to the locally defined function 'DoSomething', it's a separate copy of the function. That's what I...

Blizz metamethods

Hey all,

How can I get a reference to the metatable which is used by all frames created ingame ( which contains Show, SetClampedToScreen, IsObjectType etc etc )?

Only reason I ask is because I...

Gotcha, sorry.

local filterFunc = function(self, event, ...)
-- do stuff;
end
ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter("AN_EVENT", filterFunc);

Back to the drawing board for me, I guess.

I'm not sure what it would default to actually.

I'd just assumed that Phanx had written it that way to avoid global table lookups all the time.

Oooof.

I see your point about not getting the event until all of the ChatFrame's OnEvent code has already run. Should be easily fixed though ty.

MessageEventFilters have nothing to do with frames, so the chat frame isn't it's first argument (event is). The filter doesn't need to know which frame (if any) a message will be displayed on. It...

Yeah, I like the idea of simply hooking ChatFrame_MessageEventHandler too. I think I may be able to accomplish everything with that one hook. I'll put something together and find out.
