wxShowEvent(3erl)

🦋 wxShowEvent 🦋

okay bestie, we're on the wxShowEvent page from the Erlang manual pages — manual name 3erl, and yes, this is an Erlang module definition, folded in right here like a little name tag so you know the vibe. ✨ window appears, window dips out, event says hi ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

wxShowEvent — Functions for wxShowEvent class. iconic, honestly.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically: this is an event that gets sent when the window is shown or hidden. It's triggered by calls to wxWindow:show/2, and also by any user action that shows a previously hidden window or does the reverse — if the current platform and/or window manager allows it. 👀

⚠️ Important vibe check: the event is not triggered when the application is iconized (minimized) or restored under wxMSW. That's not me forgetting to fire it; that's just the rule.

This class is derived (and can use functions) from: wxEvent.

See: Overview events, wxWindow:show/2, wxWindow:isShown/1.

wxWidgets docs: wxShowEvent.

🎀 EVENTS 🎀

Use wxEvtHandler:connect/3 with wxShowEventType to subscribe to events of this type. slay, that's the whole subscription situation. 💅
