Not a clue on the addon GUI
 
I try to create a GUI for my addons, which I just change settings in a simple config.lua for now.
A simple GUI panel has been created, and it can sucessful change the WTF files by toggle the options.
But I found it quite difficult to link my addons to read from the saved variables once I change the settings.

Most of the GUIs are created by Acelib, but it's too hard for me as a newbee(especially a med school student).
Is there any link or tutorial that can help me to start with?

I've moved your thread to the correct area of the forums.

And don't assume that because of this:

that you don't have the know-how/experience to learn and get this. I'm a music teacher.

By "Acelib" do you mean AceConfig? What is "too hard"? What exactly are you having trouble with? What do you mean exactly by this: "But I found it quite difficult to link my addons to read from the saved variables once I change the settings"?

Sorry for my poor English.
"Too hard" means the GUI created by AceConfig seems too complicated for me to understand.
That's why I try to do one on my own.

For now if I change the option in GUI, it only effects after reload ui.
It won't automaticly update the function, and I don't have a clue to do so either.

Post your code. We can't help you with code we can't see!

I just start to add few options, but I don't know how to update it to swith on/off addon function.
It is only a panel which stands alone.

For Example, I create an actionbar codes in "Actionbar.lua",
and I normally do write an individual lua to put all those configures in there,
eg Buttonsize, button position.

The problem now I am having is, I don't know how to convert the config.lua into a GUI panel.

At the moment, I take those actionbar codes effect after "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD", is that on the right track?

3 years in band playing flute here (no, I never went to band camp!) but switched to choir my last 2 years of high school due to scheduling conflicts... was the only girl not in the soprano section. Both were among the only classes I wasn't totally bored with. Unfortunately small schools in rural areas are not well-equipped to provide a useful or enjoyable education for smart kids. :(

Well, your code is quite convoluted and overcomplicated, so I'm not surprised you're getting confused, and I'm not going to dig through it to address any specifics, but generally speaking, if your saved variables are a table that looks like this:

Code:
MyAddonDB = {
    width = 64,
    height = 24,
    bgColor = { r = 0, g = 1, b = 0 }
}
... and your addon does something like this on login:

Code:
MyAddonFrame:SetSize( MyAddonDB.width, MyAddonDB.height )
MyAddonFrame:SetBackdropColor( MyAddonDB.bgColor.r, MyAddonDB.bgColor.g, MyAddonDB.bgColor.b )
... then when your width option was changed you'd just set the new value in the table:

Code:
MyAddonDB.width = NEW_OPTION_VALUE
... and then apply it to your frame:

Code:
MyAddonFrame:SetWidth( NEW_OPTION_VALUE )
It kind of looks like you're trying to write a generalized options framework, rather than just hardcoding the specific options you want. If that's the case (eg. if you need dynamic options because the user can add or remove instances of some kind of object, like action bars, that each have their own set of options) I'd suggest just using AceConfig instead. That way you can just:

1. Create an options table and add/remove/change sections as needed.
2. Register it with AceConfig-Registry.
3a. Open an options window with AceConfig-Dialog, which automatically generates and lays out all the actual option widgets and container frames using AceGUI behind the scenes.
3b. AceConfig-Dialog can also add your options window to the Interface Options frame.

Thanks, you got me, I would have a try with AceConfig.
