NAME

panel_show: show_panel, hide_panel, panel_hidden - panels deck manipulation routines

#include <panel.h>

int show_panel(PANEL *panel);

int hide_panel(PANEL *panel);
int panel_hidden(PANEL *panel);

show_panel makes panel, previously hidden, visible and places it on top of the deck of panels.

hide_panel removes panel from the panel deck and, thus, hides it from view. The internal data structure of the panel is retained.

panel_hidden returns TRUE (1) or FALSE (0) indicating whether or not panel is in the deck of panels.

show_panel and hide_panel return the integer OK upon successful completion or ERR upon error.

The header file <panel.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.
