Hey,

I am currently using AceConfig-3.0 to build an addon's GUI (not its options pane but the actual part the user interacts with). Since I am fairly new to building GUIs with Ace / AceConfig, I decided to just put the GUI in the blizz interface options category (using LibStub("AceConfigDialog-3.0"):AddToBlizOptions(...)) temporarily as I learned how the lib worked.

Now that I've figured out how to build a GUI with AceConfig, I'd like to put that GUI in a stand-alone window (not in blizz's interface menu). Is there perhaps another library that AceConfig can plug into to create its GUI on a separate window? Or perhaps a way to put it on a window I draw manually? I've looked around this site and others to no avail, so I am wondering if anyone can offer me any help or advice to get me going in the right direction.

Thanks very much,

I just register a simple chat command and use AceConfigDialog-3.0

self:RegisterChatCommand("<AddonName>", function() LibStub("AceConfigDialog-3.0"):Open("<AddonName>") end )

LibStub("AceConfigDialog-3.0"):SetDefaultSize(appName, width, height)
LibStub("AceConfigDialog-3.0"):Open(appName, [container], [path ...])

eg

LibStub("AceConfigDialog-3.0"):SetDefaultSize("My Addon Configuration", 450, 450)
LibStub("AceConfigDialog-3.0"):Open("My Addon Configuration")

Obviously, you need to have an options table registered with AceConfig/AceConfigRegistry.

ah, that makes sense, thanks to both of you for the quick replies
