Problems with "InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory"

[Marsgames]

Hi,

I use the function "InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory(myFrame)" to open my addon's config menu, but if I use this command 2 or 3 times, all my checkbox will appear checked, even if "myBox:setChecked(false)

Do you have some solutions ?

So, here is how I create my frame for the menu :

function GHOptionPanel()
    frameInterface = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, InterfaceOptionsFramePanelContainer)
    frameInterface.name = "GearHelper"
    frameInterface:Hide()
    frameInterface:SetScript("OnShow", function(frame)
 
    [...]
 
end

my function to create a checkBox ;

local function createButton( nomButton, frameParent, posX, posY, text )
    local nomButton = CreateFrame("CheckButton", tostring( nomButton ), frameParent, "UICheckButtonTemplate")   
    nomButton:SetPoint("CENTER", posX + decallageX, posY + decallageY)
    nomButton.text:SetText(text)
    nomButton:SetFrameStrata("HIGH")
    --nomButton:SetScale(1.25)
 
    return nomButton
end

implementation of a checkbox :

function GHOptionPanel()
 
    [...]
    
    local checkGHActivated = createButton(checkGHActivated, frameInterface, -150, 90, L["checkGHActivated"])
    if GHActivated then
        checkGHActivated:SetChecked(true)
    else
        checkGHActivated:SetChecked(false)
    end
 
    [...]
 
end

and finally the slash cmd (/gh config) to open the menu :

config = function ( msg )
        InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory(frameInterface)
        InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory(frameInterface)
        end,
 
-- InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory(frameInterface) is call twice to be open on the addon page, and not just the escape --> interface panel)

Every time you use that command, you want to update every dinamic widget (editbox, slider, checkbox, colorpicker) that is used by your addon on that page. Lazy fix just create an OnShow script and update with that.

[Phanx]

The correct solution is to use a "refresh" function:

<your panel here>.refresh = function()
    -- update your widget states here
end

The interface options system automatically calls this function (if it exists) whenever your panel is opened.

Thank you all, that works perfectly well now

Nice thread hijack, guys.

The "is our children learning" quote came to mind the other day, and this came up in the Google image search and made me giggle, so I had to use it for a while. Don't worry, the cat (or a cat) will reappear at some point. To tide you over until then, here is a picture of my cat gloating after stealing my chair:

Nope. I haven't had an active subscription in almost a year now, and don't have any plans to reactivate.
