BlzCreateFrame

Parameters

name	string
owner	framehandle
priority	integer
createContext	integer

comment

Create a new Frame using a Frame-BluePrint name (fdf) as child of owner. BluePrint needs to be loaded over TOC & fdf. Owner and BluePrint have to be from the Frame family. Can only create rootFrames (not subFrames). Created Frames are stored into the game's Frame-Storage, BlzGetFrameByName(name, createContext). Overwrites occupied slots.

note

Do not create frames during blocking map initialization. Create custom UI at elapsed game time 0.00 or later; loading TOC files during initialization is safe.

note

Frame creation allocates a handle ID. In multiplayer, create frames synchronously for all players and only make visibility or appearance local.
