Convert pairs to frame

[muleyo]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to convert pairs to frames.

I've created the following pairs:

local MicroMenu = {
      CharacterMicroButton,
      SpellbookMicroButton,
      TalentMicroButton,
      AchievementMicroButton,
      QuestLogMicroButton,
      SocialsMicroButton,
      PVPMicroButton,
      LFGMicroButton,
      MainMenuMicroButton,
      HelpMicroButton
    }

local BagButtons = {
      MainMenuBarBackpackButton,
      CharacterBag0Slot,
      CharacterBag1Slot,
      CharacterBag2Slot,
      CharacterBag3Slot,
      MainMenuBarBackpackButton.Back,
      CharacterBag0Slot.Back,
      CharacterBag1Slot.Back,
      CharacterBag2Slot.Back,
      CharacterBag3Slot.Back,
      KeyRingButton,
      KeyRingButton.Back,
    }

I want them to be able to move as "one unit" instead of moving the "CharacterMicroButton" or "MainMenuBarBackpackButton", which I think is achieveable by converting them to a frame (I hope I'm correct with this).

What you are doing is putting the frame references into a table that looks like:

local MicroMenu = {
      [1] = CharacterMicroButton,
      [2] = SpellbookMicroButton,
      [3] = TalentMicroButton,
      [4] = AchievementMicroButton,
      [5] = QuestLogMicroButton,
      [6] = SocialsMicroButton,
      [7] = PVPMicroButton,
      [8] = LFGMicroButton,
      [9] = MainMenuMicroButton,
      [10] = HelpMicroButton
}

You will still need to move each frame individually

for k, v in ipairs(MicroMenu) do
    v:ClearAllPoints() -- first loop wil move CharacterMicroButton, second, SpellbookMicroButton etc.
    if k = 1 then
          v:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", UIParent, -5, 0) -- Set CharacterMicroButton to topright of screen
    else
          v:SetPoint("TOP", MicroMenu[k-1], "BOTTOM") -- arrange the rest in a column below CharacterMicroButton
    end
end
