Mixins are a template of methods that frames then inherit. Blizzard gives frames a mixin template in two ways: calling frame = CreateFromMixins(mixin) or in xml using the mixin="" attribute. In this case, MainMenuBar gets its methods from MainMenuBar.xml:

XML Code:
  1. <Frame name="MainMenuBar" enableMouse="true" parent="UIParent" mixin="MainMenuBarMixin">

You should be able to do this:

Lua Code:
  1. hooksecurefunc(MainMenuBar, "SetPositionForStatusBars", Test)

It's interesting to me that you would say that, because this works for me:

lua Code:
  1. hooksecurefunc(ExpBarMixin, "Update", function(self)
  2.     TextStatusBar_UpdateTextString(self)
  3.     self:ShowText(self)
  4.     self:UpdateCurrentText()
  5. end)

Maybe it depends on the mixin? idk
