To make your main frame closable with the ESCape key go into the OnLoad function and add the following line : tinsert(UISpecialFrames,"MainFrameName"); where MainFrameName is the name of your main frame of the application. ==Example== <Frame name="ExampleFrame" parent="UIParent"> <Size> <AbsDimension x="640" y="512" /> </Size> <Anchors> <Anchor point="CENTER" /> </Anchors> <Scripts> <OnLoad> tinsert(UISpecialFrames, self:GetName()); </OnLoad> <OnShow> PlaySound("igCharacterInfoOpen"); </OnShow> <OnHide> PlaySound("igCharacterInfoClose"); </OnHide> </Scripts> </Frame> ===Description=== self:GetName() returns the current UI Object's name; in this case, the frame's name. This makes the code more flexible. OnShow and OnHide will play the same sound you hear when you open and close your character frame, respectively. == EditBoxes and OnEscapePressed == EditBox type frames have an "OnEscapePressed" handler, which will prevent this method from working with them. For these frames you can instead use: myeditboxframe:SetScript("OnEscapePressed", function(self) self:Hide() end) [[Category: HOWTOs|Make frames closable with the ESCape key]]
