Click a line, get reference to the line?

[gmarco]

Hi All,

I am trying to figure what to code to permit the click on a single line and get the reference to the line itself.

local ldb = LibStub:GetLibrary("LibDataBroker-1.1")
local dataobj = ldb:NewDataObject("gmTest", {
    type = "data source",
    icon = "Interface\\Minimap\\Tracking\\Repair",
    text = "test",  
})
 
function dataobj.OnEnter(frame)
 
        GameTooltip:SetOwner(frame, "ANCHOR_BOTTOM")
 
        GameTooltip:AddLine("My Addon")
        GameTooltip:AddLine(" ") 
        GameTooltip:AddDoubleLine("foo1",   "bar1")
        GameTooltip:AddDoubleLine("foo2",   "bar2")
        GameTooltip:AddDoubleLine("foo3",   "bar3")
 
        GameTooltip:Show()
end
 
function dataobj.OnLeave(frame)
 
    -- GameTooltip:Hide()
 
end
 
function dataobj.OnClick(frame, button)  
 
    if  button == "RightButton" then  
        GameTooltip:Hide()
    end
    
end

Probably I should change the foo1, foo2, foo3 lines into buttons ?

Thanks to all for attention.

You can't (easily) do this with a GameTooltip, which is why most datafeeds that require those capabilities use LibQTip for their tooltips.

Thanks Thoral for your answer.

I have tried LibQTip some days ago using the sample embedding I found on wowace.

local LibQTip = LibStub('LibQTip-1.0')
local ldb = LibStub:GetLibrary("LibDataBroker-1.1")
 
local dataobj = ldb:NewDataObject("gmTest", {
    type = "data source",
    icon = "Interface\\Minimap\\Tracking\\Repair",
    text = "test",  
})
 
local function anchor_OnEnter(self)
      
    -- Acquire a tooltip with 3 columns, respectively aligned to left, center and right
    local tooltip = LibQTip:Acquire("FooBarTooltip", 3, "LEFT", "CENTER", "RIGHT")
    self.tooltip = tooltip 
 
    -- Add an header filling only the first two columns
    tooltip:AddHeader('Anchor', 'Tooltip')
 
    -- Add an new line, using all columns
    tooltip:AddLine('Hello', 'World', '!')
 
    -- Use smart anchoring code to anchor the tooltip to our frame
    tooltip:SmartAnchorTo(self)
 
    -- Show it, et voilà !
    tooltip:Show()
    
end
 
local function anchor_OnLeave(self)
   
   -- Release the tooltip
   LibQTip:Release(self.tooltip)
   self.tooltip = nil
   
end
 
 
function dataobj.OnClick(frame, button)  
 
     -- empty
 
end
 
function dataobj.OnEnter(frame)
    anchor_OnEnter(frame)
end
 
function dataobj.OnLeave(frame)
    anchor_OnLeave(frame) 
end

I use this way of embedding because I don't realize where to put these lines:

-- Somewhere in the anchor initialization
anchor:SetScript('OnEnter', anchor_OnEnter)
anchor:SetScript('OnLeave', anchor_OnLeave)

Probably I should create a custom frame and adding them ?

Something like ?

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:SetScript('OnEnter', anchor_OnEnter)
frame:SetScript('OnLeave', anchor_OnLeave)

and remove the dataobj.OnEnter and dataobj.OnLeave parts ?

The problem instead is:

If I remove the call anchor_OnLeave when I leave the databroker, I can hover the tooltip (so I can interact and press something on it ... ) but if I trim again the anchor_onEnter it dups the tooltip.

So I tried to use an isShown() to prevent this happening but I can't suceeded.
How I can avoid this ?

Thanks very much to all.

In the example, the dataObj is the object returned by LibDataBroker's NewDataObject method. It takes care of all of that. You don't have to use SetScript on anything - literally following the example in the API documentation should get something that works.
