[[XML/Frame|Frame]] is a base type used as a fundamental UI building block for defining 'active' visible screen elements. The Frame type can be used for '''Layout''' due to [[XML/LayoutFrame|LayoutFrame]], and a full set of '''Appearance''' and '''Behaviour''' facilities. Provides a base type for [[XML/Button|Button]], [[XML/EditBox|EditBox]], [[XML/ScrollingMessageFrame|ScrollingMessageFrame]], and many others. | [[XML/Frame|Frame]] is a base type used as a fundamental UI building block for defining 'active' visible screen elements.

In addition to Frames being the things that you can see, Frames are also the things which UI and game events are delivered to. If you're writing code that needs to know about something, it will need a Frame (though not necessarily a visible one) to receive the event.

Instead of going around and specifying that frame A should have frame level 12, and frame B frame level 15, Blizzard uses a set of predefined "groups" of frame levels called frameStrata. The valid values for frameStrata are "PARENT", "BACKGROUND", "LOW", "MEDIUM", "HIGH", "DIALOG", "FULLSCREEN_DIALOG" and "TOOLTIP" (there may be more). For the values "BACKGROUND" through "TOOLTIP" the values are listed in their assumed ascendancy (i.e. it is assumed that "BACKGROUND" will be below "LOW"). The default value is "PARENT" if no frameStrata is specified. | Instead of going around and specifying that frame A should have frame level 12, and frame B frame level 15, Blizzard uses a set of predefined "groups" of frame levels called frameStrata.

There is also a special attribute called toplevel - this means (hopefully) that the frame should be on top of any other frame (or, possibly, on top of any other frame in the same [[frameStrata]]). | There is also a special attribute called toplevel - this means (hopefully) that the frame should be on top of any other frame (or, possibly, on top of any other frame in the same [[XML/Frame|frameStrata]]). | ||
