Can't SetText for HotKey

I duplicated the slots (ActionButton) from the MainMenuBar by:

Code:

for i = 1, 12 do

    local originalActionButton _G["ActionButton" .. i], 

    local duplicateActionButton = CreateFrame("CheckButton", "DuplicateActionButton" .. i, ActionButtons, "ActionBarButtonTemplate")

    duplicateActionButton:SetSize(45, 45)

    if i == 1 then

        duplicateActionButton:SetPoint("LEFT", ActionButtons)

    else

        duplicateActionButton:SetPoint("LEFT", _G["DuplicateActionButton" .. (i - 1)], "RIGHT", 0, 0)

    end

    duplicateActionButton:SetAttribute("action", i); duplicateActionButton:SetAttribute("type", "action")

end

But when trying to assign text to the HotKey..:

Code:

local hotkey = _G["DuplicateActionButton" .. i .. "HotKey"]; 

hotkey:setFont("Interface\\AddOns\\Testing\\SPRODM__.OTF", 12, "OUTLINE"); 

hotkey:SetText(GetBindingText(GetBindingKey("ACTIONBUTTON" .. i), "KEY_", 1))

..nothing happens, but the RANGE_INDICATOR disappears for some slots.

I can only assign text in this way:

Code:

local hotkey2 = duplicateActionButton:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY", "GameFontNormal")

hotkey2:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", -4, -4); hotkey2:SetText(GetBindingText(GetBindingKey("ACTIONBUTTON" .. i), "KEY_", 1))

hotkey2:SetFont("Interface\\AddOns\\Testing\\SPRODM__.OTF", 12, "OUTLINE");

But in this case, it will be a simple text with a fixed color without indicating the range.

I'm in a bit of a stupor because in the game using the command /run DuplicateActionButton9.HotKey:SetText() - the text is changing, but only for those slots where there is a RANGE_INDICATOR.

I've just started learning LUA and WoW API and I don't really have a lot of free time to get into it. If anyone could help me out, that would be great.

P.S.: I've tried to be as concise as possible, but if there's anything else I need to provide, let me know.

This is code I got from the official action button file and incorporated into my own button.

Lua Code:

-- Get the binding key ( if any ) for this button and display it
    local key = GetBindingKey("CLICK "..DFMB:GetName()..":LeftButton")
    local text = GetBindingText(key, 1)
    if ( text == "" ) then
        DFMB.HotKey:Hide()
    else
        DFMB.HotKey:SetText(text)
        DFMB.HotKey:Show()
    end

This is the part of the official code I based it on.

Hopefully it will help see where you might be going wrong. Because my button isn't based on a Blizzard template ( it doesn't have to be a secure frame ) I had to set up the related Binding information such as a localized global string and a Bindings.xml file set up with the binding key chosen by the player.

Oh yeah, thanks a lot!
