TitanPanelTemplate.lua


TitanPanelTemplate.lua
Contains the routines to handle a frame created as a Titan plugin.


Titan templates
See TitanPanelButtonTemplate.xml also.

A Titan plugin is a frame created using one of the button types in TitanPanelButtonTemplate.xml which inherits TitanPanelButtonTemplate.
The available plugin types are:
TitanPanelTextTemplate - A frame that only displays text ("$parentText")
TitanPanelIconTemplate - A frame that only displays an icon ("$parentIcon")
TitanPanelComboTemplate - A frame that displays an icon then text ("$parentIcon" "$parentText")

Most plugins use the combo template.

TitanPanelButtonTemplate.xml contains other templates available to be used.
TitanOptionsSliderTemplate - A frame that contains the basics of a slider control. See TitanVolume for an example.
TitanPanelChildButtonTemplate - A frame that allows a plugin within a plugin. The older version of TitanGold was an example. This may not be used anymore.

Each template contains:
- a frame to handle a menu invoked by a right mouse click ("$parentRightClickMenu")
- default event handlers for
OnLoad: TitanPanelButton_OnLoad(self);
OnShow: TitanPanelButton_OnShow(self);
OnClick: TitanPanelButton_OnClick(self, button);
OnEnter: TitanPanelButton_OnEnter(self);
OnLeave: TitanPanelButton_OnLeave(self);
If these events are overridden then the default routine needs to be included!

Notes
- This is called from the Titan plugin frame in the OnLoad event - usually as the frame is created.
- This starts the plugin registration process. See TitanUtils for more details on plugin registration.
- The plugin registration is a two step process because not all addons create Titan plugins in the frame create. The Titan feature of converting LDB addons to Titan plugins is an example.

A method to refresh the display of a Titan plugin.

Inputs
table - the frame of the plugin
oldarg - nil or command

Notes
- This is used by some plugins. It is not used within Titan.
- The expected usage is either:
1) Table contains {<plugin id>, <update command>}

Update commands include:
1 = refresh button
2 = refresh tooltip
3 = refresh button and tooltip
