secure unit tempale button

[zork]

*edit* Got it working.

This creates a unit button for "player" that can be hovered, left and rightclicked.

    local orb1 = create_me_a_frame("Button",nil,orbanchorframe,"BACKGROUND",orbsize,orbsize,orbpoint,orbposx,orbposy,orbscale,nil,"SecureUnitButtonTemplate")
    orb1:RegisterForClicks("AnyUp")
    orb1:SetAttribute("unit", "player")
    orb1:SetAttribute("*type1", "target")
    local showmenu = function() 
      ToggleDropDownMenu(1, nil, PlayerFrameDropDown, "cursor", 0, 0) 
    end
    orb1.showmenu = showmenu
    orb1.unit = "player"
    orb1:SetAttribute("*type2", "showmenu")
    orb1:SetScript("OnEnter", UnitFrame_OnEnter)
    orb1:SetScript("OnLeave", UnitFrame_OnLeave)

You need to create a method to handle the menu action. Something like this...

frame.popup = CreateFrame( "Frame", "$parent_Popup", frame, "UIDropDownMenuTemplate" );                

frame.menu = function()
    
    local popup = frame.popup;

    if popup then
                        
        local anchor = frame.popup;
        this.unit      = frame:GetAttribute( "unit" );
        this.name,
        this.server   = UnitName( this.unit );
                       
        ToggleDropDownMenu( 1, nil, popup, anchor, anchor:GetWidth()/2, anchor:GetHeight()/2 );
                    
    end            
 end
