Has anyone figured out how to create a window just to use the update routine without using xml yet ?
I tried the following with no joy. This kind of thing worked for me in wow. Anything I am missing for it to work in ESO ?
Lua Code:
addonWindow = WindowMgr:CreateTopLevelWindow(addonName.."Window") addonWindow:SetHandler("OnUpdate", function(self,elapsed) d("addon windows update routine") MyUpdateRoutine(self,elapsed) -- This is working fine if called from the xml file OnUpdate section end ) addonWindow:SetHidden(false)

It use to work just like that, 2 or 3 patches ago it stopped working and forced the use of xml for OnUpdate. It is likely just a bug, but it has been reported in-game and on forums and it hasn't been fixed in over a month. So might end up being something we are stuck with.
