# wxShowEvent(3erl)

Functions for wxShowEvent class

## NAME

wxShowEvent - Functions for wxShowEvent class

## DESCRIPTION

An event being sent when the window is shown or hidden. The event is triggered by calls to *wxWindow:show/2*, and any user action showing a previously hidden window or vice versa (if allowed by the current platform and/or window manager). Notice that the event is not triggered when the application is iconized (minimized) or restored under wxMSW.

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

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