Ui Escape and DropDownMenu

[Lanodar]

Hey

wanted to add a DropDownMenu to my Addon CCMark, to let the player select specific RaidTargetIcons.

I added a DropDownMenu with the following Code

if not DropDownMenuTest then
   CreateFrame("Button", "DropDownMenuTest", UIParent, "UIDropDownMenuTemplate")
end
 
DropDownMenuTest:ClearAllPoints()
DropDownMenuTest:SetPoint("CENTER", 0, 0)
DropDownMenuTest:Show()
 
local items = {
   "|TInterface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-RaidTargetingIcon_2:0|t".." Circle",
   "|TInterface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-RaidTargetingIcon_8:0|t".." Skull",
}
 
local function OnClick(self)
   UIDropDownMenu_SetSelectedID(DropDownMenuTest, self:GetID())
end
 
local function initialize(self, level)
   local info = UIDropDownMenu_CreateInfo()
   for k,v in pairs(items) do
      info = UIDropDownMenu_CreateInfo()
      info.text = v
      info.value = v
      info.func = OnClick
      UIDropDownMenu_AddButton(info, level)
   end
end
 
 
UIDropDownMenu_Initialize(DropDownMenuTest, initialize)
UIDropDownMenu_SetWidth(DropDownMenuTest, 100);
UIDropDownMenu_SetButtonWidth(DropDownMenuTest, 124)
UIDropDownMenu_SetSelectedID(DropDownMenuTest, 1)
UIDropDownMenu_JustifyText(DropDownMenuTest, "LEFT")

Everything works, except the RaidTargetIcons. When the DropDown Items show up, the Icons are shown, but when i select an Item, there's no Icon in my DropdownMenu.

Here are two Screenshots to show you what i'm talking about.

I've done something similar, but with an UI escape sequence texture in an Ace3 select itemtype, where it also wouldn't show up. I think the texture (sometimes) not showing up, occurs randomly, and in my case a quick /reload would make it show up again.

If in your case it never shows up at all ... then nvm ><

p.s. welcome to WoWInterface =)

No it's random too.

Sometimes all icons are shown, and sometimes all but one or two are shown.

Very strange

Hi Lanodar,

Try changing your OnClick function to set the text on the dropdown again yourself. I’ve had problems with UIDropDownMenu_SetSelected* not always setting the text correctly.

local function OnClick(self)
   UIDropDownMenu_SetSelectedID(DropDownMenuTest, self:GetID())
   DropDownMenuTestText:SetText( items[ self:GetID() ] )
end
