Clickable Artwork Frame?

Marqui · 08-23-10, 07:37 AM

Hey,

i wonder if it is possible to make Artwork Frames clickable?
My intention is to add textures to my desktop and open up other addons by clicking these textures, for example by executing /recount or something similar.

Just make them intercept mouseclicks, and obviously assign a OnClick function to them. Something like...

OnClick = function(self, button)
if button == "LeftButton" then
Skada:ToggleWindow()
end
end,

The code in red. This is my Skada panel toggle.

Edited: Just edited to the needed stuffs.

Thank you for your reply but I suppose it's related to Litepanels or something similar.
I was able to set it up in kgpanels without great effort but why use another addon when RDX might have the same function. Currently I do not even know nor see how to intercept mouseclicks on an ArtFrame Type in RDX.

Its probablly something very similar, the OnClick functions are WoW api, not addon specific. The only reason I cited the whole litepanels thing was to show where it went.

I havent used RDX in a while or I'd play with it and find out specifically how you'd do it.

Hello,

It is not possible for now, but I can create a atrframe feature for that.

A button where you can assign a script.

Put the file Button.lua in RDX\ArtFrames folder.
Modify the file RDX.toc and add the line "ArtFrames\Button.lua"

You can add your script in the button feature like this

Added Button.lua to ArtFrames directory and modified the toc file.

Now get following error whenever I try to add a button to a baseframe

Code:

Interface\AddOns\RDX\ArtFrames\Button.lua:16: attempt to call field 'UFFrameCheck_Proto' (a nil value)

Stack trace:
-----------
(tail call): ?
Interface\AddOns\RDX\ObjectMgr\ObjectState.lua:107: in function `InSituState'

In the toc file, put the line at the end of all others artframes files.

cheers

That's what I did I guess

See line 202

Did you modify any files ? or add some scripts ?

Arf

I may be found the problem.

Open the button.lua file, replace

local editor = VFLUI.TextEditor:new(ui, "LuaEditBox");

by

local editor = VFLUI.TextEditor:new(ui);

LuaEditBox is only available with 7.5

well thank you very much for your help but error is still the same.
Reinstalled latest RDX from scratch to be sure.

Button shows up in the feature editor but when dragged to the right side this error occurs.

To fix this go into the Button.lua file and edit these lines from:

Code:

flg = flg and RDXUI.UFFrameCheck_Proto("Button_", desc, state, errs);
flg = flg and RDXUI.UFAnchorCheck(desc.anchor, state, errs);
flg = flg and RDXUI.UFOwnerCheck(desc.owner, state, errs);

To:

Code:

flg = flg and __UFFrameCheck_Proto("Button_", desc, state, errs);
flg = flg and __UFAnchorCheck(desc.anchor, state, errs);
flg = flg and __UFOwnerCheck(desc.owner, state, errs);

They will be near the top of the file.
That will get rid of the error you are experiencing.
