I have a simple frame I created with
local AceGUI = LibStub("AceGUI-3.0")
self.frame = AceGUI:Create("Frame")

I have a Dropdown and a button on it.
How can I hide and then reshow the frame?
If I use
self.frame:Hide()
and then later
self.frame:Show()
I see the frame but none of the child widgets on the frame.

I was thinking of this incorrectly.
I figured out how to accomplish what I need.
