:CreateTopLevelWindow("CFP_BuffDisplay")
:SetHidden(true)
:SetDimensions(w,h)
this would result in an error because WINDOW_MANAGER would be the object passed to each method in the chain, not the actual TLW object created.
This is my analysis of what I think is happening. I look forward to you guys tearing this apart and telling me all the places where I am wrong  .
Thanks again and I look forward to learning more about this. |
Right in that if every method on the control did return self then chaining would not be needed.
