Anchoring a foreign object to an RDX object.

[unlimit]

Is there anyway to anchor a seperate addon, such as one using:

-- list of positions that the tracker can be in. first is the default, other ones are cycled through by right-clicking the minimize button
local positionPresets = {
    { "TOPRIGHT", "UIParent", "TOPRIGHT", -15, -250 },
    { "TOPRIGHT", "UIParent", "TOPRIGHT", -15, -250 },
}

to an RDX object? I would like the frame - atleast for me - to ALWAYS be on the left of one of my vertical action bars.

If you can wait for the next major version 8.3

I can wait.

I know you're going to get too this for the next version of RDX, but out of curiosity, how hard would it be to do? It would require assigning a static frame name or something? o,.,o

In fact this feature was already builtin.

You have to use the following register function:
name: is the id
Open: Aquired the frame that need to be layout by RDX.
Close: How to close your frame.
IsOpen: if your frame is already opened.

RDXDK.RegisterWindowLess({
	name = "desktop_bossmod",
	Open = function(id)
		local a = RDX.GetEncounterPane(); 
		if a then a:Show(); end
		return a;
	end,
	Close = function(id, frame)
		RDX.ReleaseEncounterPane();
		return true;
	end,
	IsOpen = function()
		return RDX.IsEncounterPaneShow1();
	end,
	Description = "Bossmod",
	Rebuild = function(id, frame)
		return true;
	end,
	Props = function(mnu, id, frame)
		table.insert(mnu, {
			text = VFLI.i18n("Rebuild"),
			OnClick = function()
				VFL.poptree:Release();
				local cls = RDXDK.GetWindowLess(frame._dk_name);
				if cls then
					cls.Rebuild(id, frame);
				end
			end
		});
	end
});

To open the windows less list:
/script RDXDK.ToggleWindowLessList()

I will modify the desktop tool to integrate this list.

The desktop itself already seems to integrate this, which is awesome! And yeah, having it integrate into the desktop manager list would be pretty nifty too.

So, using the code below I seem to achieve what I'm after... However, I don't think it's entirely correct. It serves it's purpose, but when I go to close the frame it doesn't hide it... and the frame is only able to be docked, not moveable. When you try to move it if it isn't docked it will throw an error. Right clicking on it while it is undocked also throws an error:
