Yeah, I read that about securecall right enough. But it does have an effect alright.

- Before using securecall (ie just returning the function), I'd get an error when trying to remove something from an inventory slot.

- After adding the securecall function, the error was gone and the hooked UseContainerItem worked without any problem.

hooksecurefunc it if you want but you gotta think an alternative way to achieve what you wanna achieve.
That's what I was worried about. Thanks for confirming it. It's clearly better just left out entirely.

I was doing a bit of thinking after writing this post, and I'm playing with the idea of hooking the OnShow handler of StaticPopup frame instead to achieve the same result (without compromising the confirmation popups for buying something or cancelling an auction etc).

Thanks again
