/commands in xml onclicks

[Grimsin]

How would you put another addons /command on a button created with xml?

ive tried everything...

[Grimsin]

never mind think i figured it out....
RunSlashCmd("/command")

RunSlashCmd isn't a function provided in the wow api. It's possible to make said function but it's just adding in an unnecessary middle-man.

All slash command handlers are stored in the SlashCmdList table. You just need to find the hash index of the command you want and run it as a function. i.e. if I wanted to call /stopwatch 30

SlashCmdList['STOPWATCH'](30) -- 30 second timer

Actually.... add this nice little snippet to your lua and what i posted before becomes a valid function...

Also im trying to make calls to other addons slash commands not ones built into wow.

local function RunSlashCmd(cmd) 
	      local slash, rest = cmd:match("^(%S+)%s*(.-)$") 
	      for name in pairs(SlashCmdList) do 
	         local i = 1 
	         local slashCmd 
	         repeat 
	            slashCmd = _G["SLASH_"..name..i] 
	 
	            if slashCmd == slash then 
	               -- Call the handler  
	               SlashCmdList[name](rest) 
	               return true 
	            end 
	            i = i + 1 
	         until not slashCmd 
	      end 
	    end

All slash commands are stored in the SlashCmdList table, including 3rd party addons.

You still have to do something like he posted, because the keys of SlashCmdList don't necessarily correspond to the slash command text.
