Created page with "XML elements"

New page

{{widget}}{{tocright}}
This is the WoW [[XML UI]] Reference.

=== Reference ===

* [[XML/Ui|XML UI Root]] - Main XML container for FrameXML elements, named '[[XML/Ui|Ui]]'.
* [[XML elements|XML UI Elements]] - FrameXML elements contained by the UI element
* [[XML/Types|XML UI Types]] - Element types used to define the UI elements

=== Summary ===

WoW is capable of loading special .xml files used to describe and create UI elements. WoW uses this facility to create nearly all of its own native user interface frames and elements when WoW is started. These .xml files and facilities can also be used for custom user interface elements.

The [[XML UI]] reference is useful for creating and understanding these FrameXML files, and useful as a cross-reference for the [[Widget API]], and for the base [[World of Warcraft API|WoW API]] with reguards to frame and UI element creation and the relationships between the elements. The term 'element' is classically an XML term for describing hierarcical parts of an XML document. However you will see the terms 'elements', 'uiobjects', 'widgets', 'frames', and 'layout frames' sometimes used interchangebly. To disambiguate when we are referring to the WoW XML UI facility and files, we will use the WoW term for this: 'FrameXML'.

Example FrameXML file:
<[[XML/Ui|Ui]] xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<[[XML/Script|Script]] file="MyFrame.lua" />
<[[XML/Frame|Frame]] name="MyAddon_MyFrame" parent="UIParent" toplevel="true" enableMouse="true">
<Size>
<[[XML/AbsDimension|AbsDimension]] x="200" y="200" />
</Size>
<Anchors>
<[[XML/Anchor|Anchor]] point="CENTER" />
</Anchors>
<[[XML/Backdrop|Backdrop]] bgFile="Interface\DialogFrame\UI-DialogBox-Background"
edgeFile="Interface\DialogFrame\UI-DialogBox-Border" tile="true">
<BackgroundInsets>
<AbsInset left="11" right="12" top="12" bottom="11"/>
</BackgroundInsets>
<TileSize>
<AbsValue val="32"/>
</TileSize>
<EdgeSize>
<AbsValue val="32"/>
</EdgeSize>
</Backdrop>
</Frame>
