This function makes a frame visible.

object:Show()

none

none

Makes a frame visible. Note that if a frame's parent is hidden, the frame displayed will not appear until its parent is shown as well.

Performance note - If a lot of frames are shown for the first time at once (like in action bar mods), then the interface may hang for a few seconds, I found no way to fix this.
Protected function - I found that Frames of type Button can't call this method if the player is in combat. ¿Any one else seen the same behavior?
If the frame is not visible, then the OnHide event will be called before OnShow.
