Hi,

I was rewriting one of my addons trying to implement a custom frame instead of the standard LDB.

Everything works just fine but I was wondering if it is possible to use an onLeave codition to close it.

The skeleton code is something like this (shorter than the full code):

local ADDON = ...
 
local Menu = CreateFrame('Frame', nil, UIParent)
Menu:SetClampedToScreen(true)
Menu:SetSize(100,100)
Menu:Hide()
-- Menu:SetScript('OnLeave', OnLeave)
Menu:SetBackdrop({
    bgFile = "Interface/DialogFrame/UI-DialogBox-Background",
    edgeFile = "Interface/Tooltips/UI-Tooltip-Border",
    tile = true, tileSize = 32, edgeSize = 16,
    insets = { left = 5, right = 5, top = 5, bottom = 5 }
})
 
local ldb = LibStub:GetLibrary("LibDataBroker-1.1")
local dataobj = ldb:NewDataObject(ADDON , {
    type = "data source",
    icon = "Interface\\Addons\\"..ADDON.."\\icon.tga",
    text = "Test Only"
})
 
dataobj.OnClick = function(self, button)  
 
    if button == "LeftButton" then
 
        if(Menu:IsShown()) then         
    
            Menu:Hide()
 
        else
            
            -- position code taken from Broker_Equipment by p3lim
            Menu:ClearAllPoints()
            Menu:SetPoint('TOP', self, 'BOTTOM') -- temporary anchor
 
            local sideAnchor = ''
            if(Menu:GetRight() > GetScreenWidth()) then
                sideAnchor = 'RIGHT'
            elseif(Menu:GetLeft() <= 0) then
                sideAnchor = 'LEFT'
            end
 
            Menu:ClearAllPoints()
            if(Menu:GetBottom() <= 0) then
                Menu:SetPoint('BOTTOM' .. sideAnchor, self, 'TOP' .. sideAnchor)
            else
                Menu:SetPoint('TOP' .. sideAnchor, self, 'BOTTOM' .. sideAnchor)
            end                     
            Menu:Show()
            
        end
        
    end
end

I thought a simple:

Menu:SetScript('OnLeave', Menu:Hide())

was ok to hide the frame when not hovering on it, but I was wrong

So now I ask:
Is there a simple way to accomplish this and prevent the fact the frame remains open until someone clicks the bar again ?

Thanks very much for your input.

P.s.
Actually the Tooltip is this:
