Control.Show Method (Typed)

Request Example View Source

The default state when a control is created depends on the way you placed the control: With dynamic creation, the control remains invisible until you invoke Control:Show(). This allows the program to set up the control correctly (with the correct size, position, and any other parameters), while avoiding the "visual noise" of changing controls. With resource-bound instantiation, the control is automatically shown, without requiring a call to Control:Show(). Control:Show() is also usually called to redisplay a control that was hidden with the Control:Hide() method.
