Bongos3 and Key ID

Dibbler · 06/18/08, 11:21 AM

I have looked around quite a bit (Wowiki, Curse, EJ forums) and have not been able to find an answer yet.

Does anyone know how to find a KEY ID with Bongos3 enabled? If Bongos3 does not support that functionality could someone recommend a mod which will ID the KEY.

Ultimately I am trying to make a /click macro.

Thanks all.

I usually abuse this macro to figure out stuff like that:

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("You are hovering over frame: " .. GetMouseFocus():GetName())

Generally the Frame Name should correspond with the button id (i know it does for BT3) and can then be used with /click macros.

edit: *cough* mixing up the order of CHAT and DEFAULT is not good ...

I have been attempting to use:

/run local f = GetMouseFocus(): if f then DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME: AddMessage(f:GetName()) end

However, I have never seen any feedback in the chat window. I'll see if your macro will work - TYVM

DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME: AddMessage

I see a space there. I believe there should not be. I have made a click macro for bongos3 this weekend, and found that the AddMessage function had some changes in 2.4.2. so maybe that is why this wasn't working for you. Wowwiki showed me a working way to add text to the default chat window. In combination with the above that should work.

Too Bad I can't remember what the default nameschema is.

I have tried to fix my command line (remove space) and your suggested line but get ZERO response in chat window. What am I missing?

This one works like a charm for me.

/run local f = GetMouseFocus(); if f then DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(f:GetName()) end

You need to Mouse Over the Button in question.

My take:

/script local olle = GetMouseFocus(); DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("===> Start <==="); while( olle ~= nil ) do DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(olle:GetName()); olle = olle:GetParent(); end;

Shows the stack of frames all the way up (or down depending on how you look at it) to UIParent. :>

I've got a weird issue. I try setting up Bongos3 for my druid and it seems to set up correctly, but all of my icons are doubled. I have two of each showing up.

Any suggestions?
