WShow Procedure
Exposes or hides the designated window.
Usage
WShow [, window_index [, show]]
Input Parameters
window_index — (optional) The window index of the window to be hidden or exposed. If not specified, the current window is used.
show — (optional) A flag indicating whether a window is hidden or exposed:
0 — Hides the window. 1 — Exposes the window. Keywords
Iconic — (UNIX Only) If present and nonzero, turns the window into an icon.
Discussion
WSHOW does not automatically make the specified window the active window — the window into which new graphics are drawn. You can use WSet to specify the active window.
note | The definition of “hidden” is machine-dependent. On Sun Workstations, for example, the window disappears, although it can still be written to if it is the active window. On machines supporting the X Window System server, the window is simply pushed to the back of the window display list so that it appears to be located behind other windows on the display. |
