This function makes a frame visible.

object:Show()

---

Arguments

none

---

Returns

none

---

Description

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 behaviour?

---

Note

If the frame is not visible, then the OnHide event will be called before OnShow.
