UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Interface}}
Returns the size defined for a window template.

<pre>
width, height = GetTemplateWindowDimensions(templateName)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;templateName : <code>string</code> – Name of a window template defined in the UI's XML files.

== Returns ==
;width, height : <code>number</code> – The width and height stored in the template's size definition, as whole numbers.

== Details ==
* No window is created. The values are read from the template definition, not from any window made from it, so changes made to such windows at run time are not reflected.
* If the template does not exist, the error is logged and nothing is returned.
* The function needs at least one argument and only reads the last one.

== Errors ==
This is written to the UI log; the call returns normally.
* <code>Error in function call 'GetTemplateWindowDimensions': Window template %s does not exist.</code>

== Example ==
From <code>ea_targetwindow/source/targetwindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
hostileTargetFrame.m_SizeX, hostileTargetFrame.m_SizeY = GetTemplateWindowDimensions( hostileTargetFrame.m_Template )
</pre>
