XML elements

From Wowpedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For an overview of WoW's XML, see XML user interface and XML basics.

The Widget XML schema is one method to construct user interface widgets when initializing the game and each AddOn. This should be read in conjunction with the following pages:

  • Widget API - Functions to program each widget while the game is running
  • Widget Handlers - Handlers for responding to user interaction and game-state changes
  • Category:Widgets - Articles about each widget type, describing alternate methods to construct them
  • Category:XML elements - Alphabetical list of all articles about XML elements

FrameXML defines this schema in FrameXML/UI.xsd which is archived at Townlong-Yak.

Application Control Base Implementations <Frame> Subclasses <Animation> Subclasses

UI

See also: <UI>

The document root that all other tags must reside in

Include

See also: <Include file="">

Loads another XML file. Customarily near the top of an XML file so the dependence is clear.

Script

See also: <Script file="">

Loads a Lua (.lua) file. Customarily near the top of an XML file so the dependence is clear.

LayoutFrame

<LayoutFrame> is an abstract element with common attributes underpinning the entire schema. LayoutFrame is not a real widget, but elements inheriting from this will construct a kind of Region widget. Elements inheriting from <LayoutFrame> have the following parent/child schema: 

<UI>
  <LayoutFrame>
    <Size />
    <Anchors>
      <Anchor>
        <Offset />
      </Anchor>
    </Anchors>
    <Animations>
      <AnimationGroup />
    </Animations>
  </LayoutFrame>
</UI>

Elements inheriting from <LayoutFrame> have the following attributes:

XML attribute Type Default Lua equivalent Description
name xs:string CreateFrame(__, name, __, __) $parent becomes the name of the nearest parent in the DOM that has a non-empty name
parentKey xs:string parent[parentKey] = self Adds a reference into the parent's runtime Lua table
parentArray xs:string tinsert(parent[parentArray], self) Adds a reference into an array within the parent's runtime Lua table
inherits xs:string CreateFrame(__, __, __, inheritsFrom) Clones characteristics from an XML virtual template
mixin xs:string Mixin(mixin:strmatch(",")) Copies key/value pairs from one or more comma-separated global Lua tables
secureMixin xs:string No equivalent Copies key/value pairs from one or more comma-separated global Lua tables, wrapping each secure function value in a closure that forces the execution path to a secure state until it returns
virtual xs:boolean
false
 No equivalent If true, creates a XML virtual template for later cloning via inherits
setAllPoints xs:boolean
false
 Region:SetAllPoints() Anchors the LayoutFrame to its parent's top-left and bottom-right corners
hidden xs:boolean
false
 Region:SetShown(hidden) Controls the frame's initial visibility upon creation.

Each <Anchor> within a <LayoutFrame> has the following attributes:

XML attribute Type Description
point ui:FRAMEPOINT See Region:SetPoint()
relativeTo xs:string
relativePoint ui:FRAMEPOINT
x xs:float Alternative to <Offset />
y xs:float

Frame

<Frame> constructs a Frame widget, the highest-level concrete type for interactable objects and containers. A frame also contains <Layers> and <Scripts> to customize appearance and user interaction.

<Frame> resides in either the document root, UI, or the <Frames></Frames> element of another frame. 

<UI>
  <Frame>
    <TitleRegion />
    <ResizeBounds>
      <minResize />
      <maxResize />
    </ResizeBounds>
    <Backdrop>
      <!-- Classic only from 9.0.1 -->
      <BackgroundInsets />
      <TileSize />
      <EdgeSize />
      <Color />
      <BorderColor />
    </Backdrop>
    <BackgroundInsets />
    <HitRectInsets />
    <Layers>
      <Layer>
        <Texture />
        <MaskTexture />
        <FontString />
        <Line />
      </Layer>
    </Layers>
    <Frames>
      <Frame />
    </Frames>
    <Scripts />
    <!-- Also see <LayoutFrame> -->
