wxShowEvent(3)

💖 wxShowEvent 💖

okay bestie, so this is the Erlang module definition for wxShowEvent, and it's literally the event that gets sent when a window is shown or hidden. no cap. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

wxShowEvent — the event that gets sent when a window is shown or hidden. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 👑

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: this event fires when you call wxWindow:show/2, and also when a user does something that shows a previously hidden window (or hides one that was showing). but — and this is the important part — that only works if the current platform and/or window manager allows it. so like, check your platform, bestie. 💅

🚨 IMPORTANT: this event is NOT triggered when the application is iconized (minimized) or restored under wxMSW. not me finding this out the hard way. 💀

See also, because we love receipts:

• Overview events
• wxWindow:show/2

This class is derived, and can use functions, from:

🔥 FUNCTIONS 🔥

⭐ isShown(This) -> boolean() when This :: wxShowEvent().

returns true if the window has been shown, and false if it has been hidden. that's the whole function. icon behavior. 👑

⭐ setShow(This, Show) -> ok when This :: wxShowEvent(), Show :: boolean().

sets whether the window was shown or hidden. you gotta pass This (your wxShowEvent()) and Show (a boolean()), and you get ok back. gorgeous. 💜
