Some XML elements are derived from others, which means that they inherit the attributes and other element definitions of their parent. Generally the same rules for inheritance hierarchy and attributes apply to both the [[XML]] based [[FrameXML]], and the [[Lua]] based [[UIObject API]]. However, this is not always true.<br /> <br /> ==== Inheritance Example ====<br /> <br /> * LayoutFrame<br /> ** name (attribute)<br /> :* Frame (is a LayoutFrame too)<br /> :** name (attribute, inherited from LayoutFrame)<br /> :** Frames (element array of Frame)<br /> ::* Button (is a Frame too, which is also a LayoutFrame)<br /> ::** name (attribute, inherited from LayoutFrame through Frame)<br /> ::** Frames (element array of Frame, inherited from Frame)<br /> <br /> == Reference ==<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Note: This inheritance hierarchy is not to be confused with the parent-child relationships of the actual widgets created when the XML files are loaded, or confused with the containership hierarcy. It also shouldn&#039;t be confused with the actual inheritance mechanism when templates (or virtual elements) are defined and used.&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> * [[XML/Ui|Ui]]<br /> * [[XML/Font|Font]]<br /> * [[XML/LayoutFrame|LayoutFrame]]<br /> ** [[XML/FontString|FontString]]<br /> ** [[XML/Texture|Texture]]<br /> ** [[XML/Frame|Frame]]<br /> *** [[XML/Button|Button]]<br /> **** [[XML/CheckButton|CheckButton]]<br /> **** [[XML/LootButton|LootButton]]<br /> *** [[XML/ColorSelect|ColorSelect]]<br /> *** [[XML/EditBox|EditBox]]<br /> *** [[XML/GameTooltip|GameTooltip]]<br /> *** [[XML/MessageFrame|MessageFrame]]<br /> *** [[XML/Minimap|Minimap]]<br /> *** [[XML/Model|Model]]<br /> **** [[XML/PlayerModel|PlayerModel]]<br /> ***** [[XML/TabardModel|TabardModel]]<br /> *** [[XML/ScrollingMessageFrame|ScrollingMessageFrame]]<br /> *** [[XML/ScrollFrame|ScrollFrame]]<br /> *** [[XML/SimpleHTML|SimpleHTML]]<br /> *** [[XML/Slider|Slider]]<br /> *** [[XML/StatusBar|StatusBar]]<br /> *** [[XML/MovieFrame|MovieFrame]]<br /> *** [[XML/TaxiRouteFrame|TaxiRouteFrame]]<br /> *** [[XML/WorldFrame|WorldFrame]]<br /> <br /> In the XML files, wherever a particular type of element is expected, you may instead use a element of a type that is derived from that one. In the actual [[XML elements]] reference, curly braces {} are used to indicate when such substitution is possible.</div>
