Scroll Frames...*Sigh*.. revisted

Tymesink · 07-09-09, 01:50 AM

So I've had time recently to work on an addon and I'm getting stuck with the FauxScrollFrame stuff.

So I'm getting the data to display and it all works if when my data list count is more than or equal to my MAX_ROWS. If my data list count is less than the MAX_ROWS then the entire list doesn't show anymore.

MAX_ROWS is set to 11.
MAX_HEIGHT is set to 20.

Code:

function addon:AddFrames()
	local frameDesc = "Below is the list of Set Events" 
	frames.eventsFrame = createFrame("EventEQEvents",gmd,260,276,"TOPLEFT","BOTTOMLEFT",3,4,"EventEQ Events",frameDesc);
	
	frames.scroll = self:CreateScrollFrame(frames.eventsFrame,215,195,10,-65);
	frames.rows = self:CreateRows(frames.scroll,210);
	scrollUpdate();
end

Code:

local function scrollUpdate()
	local list = db.events;
	
	FauxScrollFrame_Update(frames.scroll,#list,MAX_ROWS,ROW_HEIGHT)
	local offset = FauxScrollFrame_GetOffset(frames.scroll)

	for i = 1, MAX_ROWS do
		local index = i + offset;	
		if index < #list then
			local b = _G[MODNAME.."ScrollButton"..i];
			b.event:SetText(list[index].event);
			b.set:SetText(list[index].set)
			b.talent:SetText(list[index].talent)
			_G[MODNAME.."ScrollButton"..i]:Show();
		else
			_G[MODNAME.."ScrollButton"..i]:Hide()
		end
	end
end

Code:

function addon:CreateScrollFrame(parentFrame, width, height,x_offset,y_offset)
	local frame = CreateFrame("ScrollFrame", MODNAME.."ScrollFrame", parentFrame, "FauxScrollFrameTemplate");
	frame:SetWidth(width)
	frame:SetHeight(height)
	frame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", parentFrame, "TOPLEFT", x_offset, y_offset)
	frame:SetBackdrop({
		bgFile="",
		edgeFile="Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Border",
		tile="true",
		tileSize= 32,
		edgeSize=10,
		insets = {left=5, right=5, top=5, bottom=5}
	})
	frame:SetBackdropBorderColor(0,.5,0,1)
	frame:SetScript("OnVerticalScroll", function(self, offset) FauxScrollFrame_OnVerticalScroll(self, offset, ROW_HEIGHT, scrollUpdate) end)
	frame:SetScript("OnShow", scrollUpdate);
	
	return frame;
end

Code:

function addon:CreateRows(frame,width)
	local rows = {};
	for i = 1,MAX_ROWS do
		local b
		if i == 1 then
			b = CreateFrame("Button", MODNAME.."ScrollButton"..i, frame)
			b:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 2,-5)
		else
			b = CreateFrame("Button", MODNAME.."ScrollButton"..i, _G[MODNAME.."ScrollButton"..(i-1)])
			b:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", _G[MODNAME.."ScrollButton"..(i-1)], "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, 4)
		end
		
		b:SetNormalFontObject("GameFontNormalSmall")
		b:RegisterForClicks("RightButtonUp")
		b:SetWidth(width)
		b:SetHeight(ROW_HEIGHT)
		
		b.index = i;		
		b:SetScript("OnClick", 
			function()
				table.remove(db.events,b.index);
				scrollUpdate();
				addon:Print("Deleted!");
			end
		)
		
		b.event = b:CreateFontString(nil, "ARTWORK", "GameFontHighlightSmall")
		b.event:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", b, "TOPLEFT", 0, -6)
				
		b.set = b:CreateFontString(nil, "ARTWORK", "GameFontHighlightSmall")
		b.set:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", b.event, "TOPLEFT", 100, 0)
			
		b.talent = b:CreateFontString(nil, "ARTWORK", "GameFontHighlightSmall")
		b.talent:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", b.set, "TOPLEFT", 50, 0)
			
		rows[i] = b;
	end
	
	return rows;
end

if I'm going about this all wrong please let me know. I've been looking at and reviewing other ppl's addon trying to get a clue on how to do this. But somewhere I'm just missing it and I can't figure this out.

I've also been searching google for examples and not having any luck finding answers there either.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

(I would like to stay with lau script for frame creation rather using xml for a solution if that is at all possible)
