	~~==What is frameLevel?==~~		#REDIRECT [[XML/Frame]]
	~~frameLevel is pretty much what it sounds like, it says what level your frame is on.~~

	~~==What is the difference between frameLevel and~~ [[XML/Frame~~/frameStrata\|frameStrata]]?==~~
	~~Well first off, you can't set frameLevel in your <Frame> tag. frameLevel is dictated by XML nesting. Check this example out:~~

	~~<Frame name="MyFrame" frameStrata="DIALOG" parent="UIParent">~~
	~~<Frames>~~
	~~<Button name="MyButton">~~
	~~</Button>~~
	~~</Frames>~~
	~~</Frame>~~

	~~Since UIParent's frameLevel is 1, the frame we created here should be frameLevel 2 and the Button should be frameLevel 3.~~

	You can check a frame's level with Frame:GetFrameLevel() and you can set it with Frame:SetFrameLevel(). However, setting a frame's level is ill-advised. It is given its level automatically and it's best to leave it that way. If you need to change a frame's level in your own code, best thing to do is just nest your code differently.

	~~Note: If the parent of a frame is changed by your code, the frame levels are not adjusted to compensate. You may need to adjust the frame's level to fix the way the frame displays.~~

	~~==Possible Values==~~
	* 0 - No parent
	* 1 - Parent is UIParent
	* 2 and higher...

	~~The maximum value seems to be 129. If you call SetFrameLevel with a value greater than 129, the value passed will be ignored, and the frame level will be set to 129.~~

	In my experimentation, and with my WoW client (Windows), it seems higher values will stick, and be honored, if you call SetFrameLevel twice in a row. This is probably unreliable. If you find that you are having to set frame levels greater than 129, see if you can use a hierarchical set of parent frames instead.

What is the difference between frameLevel and frameStrata?

New page

==What is frameLevel?==
frameLevel is pretty much what it sounds like, it says what level your frame is on.

==What is the difference between frameLevel and frameStrata?==
Well first off, you can't set frameLevel in your <Frame> tag. frameLevel is dictated by XML nesting. Check this example out:

<Frame name="MyFrame" frameStrata="DIALOG" parent="UIParent">
<Frames>
<Button name="MyButton">
</Button>
</Frames>
</Frame>

Since UIParent's frameLevel is 1, the frame we created here should be frameLevel 2 and the Button should be frameLevel 3.

You can check a frame's level with Frame:GetFrameLevel() and you can set it with Frame:SetFrameLevel(). However, setting a frame's level is ill-advised. It is given its level automatically and it's best to leave it that way. If you need to change a frame's level in your own code, best thing to do is just nest your code differently.

==Possible Values==
* 0 - No parent
* 1 - Parent is UIParent
* 2 and higher...
