For modal dialogs, the optional value is returned as the result of the show() call that caused the dialog to display and execute. no return value Hides the element. If hide() is called on a modal dialog, dismiss the dialog and set the dialog result to 0.

Calling this method with no argument on a control simulates the activation of the control; a Button signals that it has been clicked via its onClick() method, an EditText element tells its listener that it contents have changed via its onChange() method, and so on. You can supply an optional argument to notify(), which is the name of the event handler to call. For instance, to simulate a dialog dlg being moved by a user, you can send a notification message as follows: dlg.notify("onMove"). Number Displays the UI object. A Window may choose to ignore the setting of the visibility state if it is not applicable, like for inspectors whose visibility is controlled by the application only.
