I offer to write here some questions/problems, refering to addon crafting.

[shuraken007 345]

So.. mine first question.

 

How to solve problem with elements out of scrollframe (but they are in scrollchild) which catch mouse events?

 

look at this picture:

scrollchild contains 5 long buttons, which width is more, then width of scrollframe

and button become highlighting when mouse is righter then end of the scrollframe (near with scrollbar = slider)

and when I scroll frame - button start catch mouse events from the left side (out of the scrollframe too)

(I meaned horizontal scroll)

I think that the simplest version will look like next func

function BuildTestScrollFrame()
	-----child
	local child = CreateFrame("Frame","TestChild", UIParent)
	child:SetWidth(300)
	child:SetHeight(200)
	local t = child:CreateTexture(nil, "BACKGROUND")
	t:SetTexture("Interface\\RaidFrame\\UI-RaidFrame-GroupBg.blp")
	t:SetAllPoints(child)
	child.texture = t
	-----ScrollFrame
	local ScrFrame = CreateFrame("ScrollFrame","TestScrollFrame",UIParent)
	ScrFrame:SetWidth(200)
	ScrFrame:SetHeight(200)
	ScrFrame:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", 0, 0)
	----Add child to ScrollFrame
	child:SetAllPoints(parent)
	ScrFrame:SetScrollChild(child)
	----Slider
	local slider = CreateFrame("Slider", "TestSlider", ScrFrame)
	slider:SetBackdrop( { 
		  bgFile = "Interface\\Buttons\\UI-SliderBar-Background", 
		  edgeFile = "Interface\\Buttons\\UI-SliderBar-Border", 
		  tile = true, tileSize = 8, edgeSize = 8, 
		  insets = { left = 3, right = 3, top = 6, bottom = 6 }})
	slider:SetOrientation("HORIZONTAL")
	slider:SetMinMaxValues(0, 300)
	slider:SetValue(0)
	slider:SetValueStep(1)
	slider:SetWidth(200)
	slider:SetHeight(25)
	slider:SetPoint("TOP", ScrFrame, "BOTTOM")
	slider:SetScript("OnValueChanged", 
		function()
			this:GetParent():SetHorizontalScroll(-1 * this:GetValue())
		end
	)
	slider:SetThumbTexture("Interface\\Buttons\\UI-ScrollBar-Knob")
	---Button
	local testbutton = CreateFrame("Button" ,"TestButton", child, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
	testbutton:SetWidth(300)
	testbutton:SetHeight(30)
	testbutton:EnableMouse(true)
	testbutton:SetPoint("LEFT", child, "LEFT", 10, 0)
end

move mouse to that place where button cut - it will fire, it will be clickable there

try this:

function BuildTestScrollFrame()
	-----ScrollFrame
	local ScrFrame = CreateFrame("ScrollFrame","TestScrollFrame",UIParent)
	ScrFrame:SetWidth(200)
	ScrFrame:SetHeight(200)
	ScrFrame:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", 0, 0)
	----Add child to ScrollFrame
	-----child
	local child = CreateFrame("Frame","TestChild", ScrFrame)
	child:SetWidth(300)
	child:SetHeight(200)
	child.texture = child:CreateTexture(nil, "BACKGROUND")
	child.texture:SetTexture("Interface\\RaidFrame\\UI-RaidFrame-GroupBg.blp")
	child.texture:SetAllPoints(child)
	--child:SetAllPoints(parent) ?? parent ??
	ScrFrame:SetScrollChild(child)
	----Slider
	local slider = CreateFrame("Slider", "TestSlider", ScrFrame)
	slider:SetBackdrop( { 
		  bgFile = "Interface\\Buttons\\UI-SliderBar-Background", 
		  edgeFile = "Interface\\Buttons\\UI-SliderBar-Border", 
		  tile = true, tileSize = 8, edgeSize = 8, 
		  insets = { left = 3, right = 3, top = 6, bottom = 6 }})
	slider:SetOrientation("HORIZONTAL")
	slider:SetMinMaxValues(0, 300)
	slider:SetValue(0)
	slider:SetValueStep(1)
	slider:SetWidth(200)
	slider:SetHeight(25)
	slider:SetPoint("TOP", ScrFrame, "BOTTOM")
	slider:SetScript("OnValueChanged", 
		function()
			this:GetParent():SetHorizontalScroll(-1 * this:GetValue())
		end
	)
	slider:SetThumbTexture("Interface\\Buttons\\UI-ScrollBar-Knob")
	---Button
	local testbutton = CreateFrame("Button" ,"TestButton", child, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
	testbutton:SetWidth(300)
	testbutton:SetHeight(30)
	testbutton:EnableMouse(true)
	testbutton:SetPoint("LEFT", child, "LEFT", 10, 0)
end

what did i do? changed the parent of the child to the scrollframe instead to UIParent

[shuraken007 345]

nothing happend, have you tested?

child:SetAllPoints(ScrFrame)

made mistake on collecting pieces of code, parent was param in func

yes, i tested it and it solves your problem...

[shuraken007 345]

Thank you, it's work. (probably havn't resave file last time)

Killed 3 hours I think. 

Try other versions with changing hitrecktangle of button.

Also tried to set that button to Scrollframe(with const size=width of scrollframe) and all strings on button anchor to child. But labels were on dark fone because button was over it.

Looked through FauxScrollFrame.

So.. thank you one time more).

I love you guys have knowledge about stuffs, if you don't mind i can give you few examples of addons which are forgotten or mainly unknown for many regarding Shadow Priest and Paladin.

 

The existent addons work for TBC++  expansions but for Vanilla there is problem within their own sources.

 

Is it possible for you guys to rework that addons and set them according to Vanilla ?

 

/Kind regards Killerduki

[shuraken007 345]

depends on aim of addon and amount of work on rewriting
