Hide something

[Nobgul]

Ok so for some reason I cannot for the life of me remember how to hide a ui element at all time.


I know frame:Hide()

but whenever a event happens it pops back up.

I vaguely remember a else if then to keep it hidden.


if frame:Show()
then
frame:Hide()
else
end


but I just can't think.

[xConStruct]

"frame.Show = frame.Hide" would replace the Show()-function with the Hide() one, so that it can't be shown through the normal call.
"frame.Show = nil" to undo.

if you want to hide Blizz-Events, you could also try to :UnregisterAllEvents() of them. I block the BankFrame for my inventory addon this way.

i am trying to get rid of the stupid ghost window.

GhostFrame:Hide()

I tried to do a on addon_loaded GhostFrame:UnregisterAllEvents()
but it didint work mabey my code if flawed.

[xConStruct]

UIParent.lua says that the events are handled by UIParent, so UnregisterAllEvents() wouldn't work.

Does GhostFrame.Show = GhostFrame.Hide work? (It should?)

You could also try:
GhostFrame:HookScript("OnShow", function(self) self:Hide() end)

Cheers,

Yea I checked and it is handled by UIParent.
And for some reason UnregisterAllEvents() did not work? Not sure why thought for a second it was secure or something. But oh well. And naw GhostFrame.show = GhostFrame.hide Also does not work unless I am more tired then i think i am but.


GhostFrame:HookScript("OnShow", function(self) self:Hide() end)

Works wonders.

Thank you.
