| ==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.
