Hi Andy,

In fact it's not, it is inherited from Q.Base.
It is not called 'onHide' but simply 'hide'.

The 'onShow' method in Q.Window is actually just a wrapper for the
'show' method in Q.Base.
Because Q.Window needs to call 'restack' on itself before showing it.

onShow: function() {
this.restack();

this.show();
}

All modules in Q are subclasses of Q.Base.
Therefore all methods are inherited and sometimes overwritten.

I removed onHide because it was sitting there doing more or less the
same job as 'hide'.

Thanks for info. I have some code that needs to run when the window is hidden. How would I go about that without the onhide.

cheers

Well, you use the callback method to add your own functions:

var win = new Q.Window({
onHide: function(self) {
alert('I am hidden now');
}
});

Callback's reflect methods inside the class.
So for the hide method you have the onHide callback, show has
onShow, ...

Ahh Im getting it now, like how you've done that with the callbacks makes it more modular
