Show/hide frames on the fly (no reload)

[lurelure]

Is it possoble to show or hide frames without reloading the ui? I'm trying to make ingame options that work straight away, but i'm having some trouble with this. I've tried

oUF_pet:Hide()

etc, but it only hides for a split second, then appears again. I'm aware i can just avoid spawning it, but then i can't alter visibility on the fly

You can call objectisable(), if you aren't in combat. This will disable events and hide the frame. This is on single frames.

headers are slightly worse to deal with however. You have to call RegisterAttributeDriver(header, 'state-visibility', nil) and probably header:Hide(). The registerattributedriver is only needed if you are using the visibility argument.

That ended up nice
For those that don't know what the smiley means:

object:Disable()

Thanks!

Disable() worked like a charm.

Regarding the headers, I just used

raidgroup:SetAttribute("showParty", value)
raidgroup:SetAttribute("showRaid", value)

etc, on the individual headers.

I had no need to hide specific raid members, so that was sufficent.

Yeah, that will work fine as well . The main difference is that registerattributedriver will continue to update the header visibility with your solution.

The difference isn't noticeable however.
