Disable Button: if variable == false

[Endzeit]

i searched in the api for hours now.. i found only button:disabled().. but it is the wrong code i think.
My Buttons left Work, but i want to disable the Button, when "Raidbuffs anzeigen" is unchecked. Like the Right Side of Picture.

local e_raidbuffs = CreateFrame("CheckButton", "EndzeitUIConfig_raidbuffs", e_panel, "OptionsCheckButtonTemplate")
e_raidbuffs:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 316, -190)
 
e_raidbuffs:SetScript("OnClick", function(frame)
 
if EndzeitUIOptions then
        if frame:GetChecked() then
            PlaySound("igMainMenuOptionCheckBoxOn")
            EndzeitUIOptions["raidbuffs"] = true
            
        else
            PlaySound("igMainMenuOptionCheckBoxOff")
            EndzeitUIOptions["raidbuffs"] = false
        
        end
    end
    
end)
local e_raidbuffsText = e_raidbuffs:CreateFontString(nil, "ARTWORK", "GameFontHighlight")
e_raidbuffsText:SetPoint("LEFT", e_raidbuffs, "RIGHT", 0, 1)
e_raidbuffsText:SetText("Raidbuffs anzeigen")
 
-- buff: bloodlust
local e_bloodlust = CreateFrame("CheckButton", "EndzeitUIConfig_bloodlust", e_panel, "OptionsCheckButtonTemplate")
e_bloodlust:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 326, -215)
 
e_bloodlust:SetScript("OnClick", function(frame)
 
if EndzeitUIOptions then
        if frame:GetChecked() then
            PlaySound("igMainMenuOptionCheckBoxOn")
            EndzeitUIOptions["bloodlust"] = true
            
        else
            PlaySound("igMainMenuOptionCheckBoxOff")
            EndzeitUIOptions["bloodlust"] = false
        
        end
    end
    
end)
local e_bloodlustText = e_bloodlust:CreateFontString(nil, "ARTWORK", "GameFontHighlight")
e_bloodlustText:SetPoint("LEFT", e_bloodlust, "RIGHT", 0, 1)
e_bloodlustText:SetText("Kampfrausch / Heldentum")
 
 
-- buff: legendary
local e_legendary = CreateFrame("CheckButton", "EndzeitUIConfig_legendary", e_panel, "OptionsCheckButtonTemplate")
e_legendary:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 326, -240)
 
e_legendary:SetScript("OnClick", function(frame)
 
if EndzeitUIOptions then
        if frame:GetChecked() then
            PlaySound("igMainMenuOptionCheckBoxOn")
            EndzeitUIOptions["legendary"] = true
            
        else
            PlaySound("igMainMenuOptionCheckBoxOff")
            EndzeitUIOptions["legendary"] = false
        
        end
    end
    
end)
local e_legendaryText = e_legendary:CreateFontString(nil, "ARTWORK", "GameFontHighlight")
e_legendaryText:SetPoint("LEFT", e_legendary, "RIGHT", 0, 1)
e_legendaryText:SetText("Legendary Ring")

this 3 example buttons.

CheckButton:disable() / :enable() should disable/enable the CheckButton frame as CheckButton inherits all of the Button methods (as well as those from Frame, Region, and UIObject).

Hi, take a look at BlizzardOptionsPanel_SetupDependentControl function code in OptionsPanelTemplates.lua file and how they utilize it.

okay.. i dont get it, i think i'm too stupid or too inexperienced...

also have a problem with accessing the global savevariables outside functions.
e.g.
inside functions()
EndzeitUIOptions.raidbuffs returns false or true

outside functions()
EndzeitUIOptions.raidbuffs returns nil

SavedVariables\EndzeitUI.lua

EndzeitUIOptions = {
    ["raidbuffs"] = true,
    ["legendary"] = true,
    ["bloodlust"] = true,
    ["targetmsg"] = true,
    ["xmog"] = true,
    ["targetplayer"] = true,
    ["cursor"] = true,
    ["targetnpc"] = true,
}

You are acccessing the saved variables before they've been loaded.

You should do this in an event like ADDON_LOADED (after checking it's your addon that has been loaded) or PLAYER_LOGIN.

Edit: The reason it is working inside the function is because the function itself isn't being called until during or after the events I mentioned.

You can also use button:SetEnabled(boolean) to quickly enable/disable based on a variable.
