SetAlpha() not working

Hello. Just tried that, but it throws a "attempt to index a nil value" error. At least calling:

ZO_SmallGroupAnchorFrame:SetAlpha(0)

doesn't throw an error, but it just doesn't do anything.

I looked in my addons code, try this one:
ZO_UnitFramesGroups
ZO_UnitFramesGroups:SetHidden(true) works for sure

That was it! Both SetAlpha() and SetHidden() work with ZO_UnitFramesGroups. Thanks so much.

Man I am so new to this, if you don't mind telling me, how on earth did you figure out that ZO_UnitFramesGroups is the correct control name? The only way I was able to get ZO_SmallGroupAnchorFrame as a starting point was because i used the Azurah addon and looked at the saved variables file.

Is there some simple way to know the name of any given control in the UI?

This was in one of my addons' code, usually if I can't find a control's exact name, I look in the corresponding xml files, it helps.
