Returns

nil

---

Example

DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:SetTimeVisible(15);

Result

Changes the visible time for lines added or updated to 15 seconds.

Details

SetTimeVisible(seconds) doesn't affect already visible lines, unless these are updated.

A way to update them is to call one of the Scroll methods.

Settings a value of 0 or below, means lines begin to fade immediately.

Calling this method has the same affect as setting the ScrollingMessageFrame XML attribute "displayDuration".
