kgPanels - WoW AddOns

Create panels for customizing your UI, sucessor to eePanels

OnClick now provides a pressed and released variable you can check for.

if pressed then
  -- do mouse down actions
elseif released then
  -- do mouse up actions
end

This means your script will get called twice when someone clicks the panel.

Here is a youtube link to a video Tutorial

Ive created an Example Texture Pack.

This example pack is just a template. If you want to use it as a storage spot for your art, look at the read me file for directions on usage.

For those wondering what the names of the various arguments to the scripts are (like I was earlier), I've looked at the function that sets up the scripts and written them below.

self is always the panel's frame.
- OnEvent: self, event, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6, arg7, arg8, arg9, arg10
  - event is the name of the event that fired, arg1-arg10 are the arguments it supplied.
- OnUpdate: self, time
  - time is the number of seconds since the last OnUpdate was fired.
- OnClick: self, button
  - button is the name of the mouse button that clicked the panel. This will usually be LeftButton, RightButton or MiddleButton for the first three mouse buttons or ButtonN (where N is some number) for mouse buttons 4+.
  - pressed and released will be true or false (nil) depending on whether the script was triggered by a mouse down or mouse up hardware event. These variables are mentioned on the main page itself, but I thought I'd put them here anyway.
  - It's worth noting that this actually uses the OnMouseUp/OnMouseDown handlers of the frame (because frames don't have OnClick handlers), so it doesn't count as a hardware event for functions that require one (e.g. SetCurrentTitle)
- OnSizeChanged: self, height, width
  - I think these two are actually written in the wrong order in the function that sets the scripts, so height is the new width and width is the new height. I haven't actually tested this with a panel yet (only my own frame made with CreateFrame), so I could be wrong.
- OnLoad: self, kgPanels
  - kgPanels is the AddOn's main table.
- OnShow, OnHide, OnEnter, OnLeave and OnReceiveDrag all have self as their only argument.
I'm going to do some testing with the OnSizeChanged arguments, I'll file a ticket if my suspicion that they're are in the wrong order turns out to be true.

Edit: I'm definitely right about the arguments. I've filed a ticket about them now.

Kagaro, you put the script for OnClick, has an error and confusion can lead people to not have much idea of programming, if you can change elsif - elseif, will be better, I think I broke his brain was not working because your script when I gave him to copy - paste XD

P. D. I hope my comment did not offend you friend

@palthis: Go

If possible make a panel button has an effect, I've done this:

OnClick

if pressed then

self:SetWidth(190) self:SetHeight(55)

elseif released then

self:SetWidth(200) self:SetHeight(60)

end

hello, my name is victor, sorry for my bad English.

I use almost KgPanels since it was created, I have much knowledge of programming but I'm learning through Kagaro, I put a screenshot of my UI KgPanels totally made by using many of the scripts present on this forum and other pages, if someone want to know as I have done any of the parts that make up that let me know by private message or just putting it here.

Hi all. Took a long break from WoW, finally getting back into it, and there's something I had on my old UI that I can't remember how to recreate (because it required a little bit of code in the kgPanels config menu).

Essentially, I have three separate kgPanels that fit behind my Grid frames. One is sized for a 5-man party, one for a 10-man raid, and the other for a 25-man raid. I know there's something you can put in each of those frames's config that'll only make them show up for the appropriate party size.

So, for example, if I'm soloing, none of them show. As soon as I enter a party, the 5-man one appears. If I join a raid, 10-man, or if it's 25, 25-man. So on and so forth.

Does anyone know what I need to put in? It's two fields (I'll have to look up which), but it was something like scan party, then IF members are >2 and <11, show.

Etc.

Thanks!

Hi, I've been using kgpanels as a border for my target unit frame. I'm currently using the script given from the sample scripts page and there appears to be a delay when I select/deselect a target. Is there a way to reduce to remove this delay? Thanks.
