Handle of titlebarbuttons

[Hroudtwolf]

Hello,


Who knows, how to get the handles of the buttons in the titlebar of a Windows-Window?

[Sparkie]

Are you talking about the minimize, maximize, and close buttons? If so, I don't think you can gain access to them other than through SysMenu functions.

[Hroudtwolf]

Sorry, but I've no idea , what you want to say me.
Can you explain that more exactly?

[Sparkie]

Are you trying to get the handle to these buttons

@Sparkie: Judging by Hroudtwolf's other post, he wants min/max buttons
on a ToolWindow, which simply can't be done. So I'm guessing he wants
to add simulated buttons or something to the ToolWindow...? There are
posts here that demonstrate how to put a "pushpin" etc on a window,
so Hroudtwolf will have to do a search for it and see if it works.

[Sparkie]

Thanks PB

ToolWindow with min/max buttons can be done, but you have to draw them yourself. Probably more trouble than it's worth

@Hroudtwolf: Does the link below help you get started? It shows how to
get the handle to the "X" (close) button on a normal window (it may also
work on a ToolWindow, but I haven't tried it):

That's what I meant... they're not natively done like on a normal window.

I really don't know if i understand the subject
But i did something like this on skindwind.app
I used the Webdings or the Marlett Font -"dont' recall"- , for min,max and close
This was on win98, i have no idear what it looks like on XP
and it might look diff. depending on if the user uses big or small fonttypes (96 dpi or " 128 I tinhk dpi")

Code: Select all

 
;
Global FontID1
;FontID1 = LoadFont(1, "Webdings", 10)
FontID1 = LoadFont(1, "Marlett", 10)
 
 If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 160, 160, #PB_Window_SystemMenu |#PB_Window_ScreenCentered, "Tool-Bar")
    TBH=CreateToolBar(0, WindowID())
      ToolBarStandardButton(0, #PB_ToolBarIcon_New)
      ToolBarStandardButton(1, #PB_ToolBarIcon_Open)
      ToolBarStandardButton(2, #PB_ToolBarIcon_Save)
      

    If CreateGadgetList(TBH)
      ButtonGadget(0, 70, 3, 16, 16, "0")
      SetGadgetFont(0, FontID1)
      ButtonGadget(1, 85, 3, 16, 16, "1")
      SetGadgetFont(1, FontID1)
      ButtonGadget(2, 100, 3, 16, 16, "2")
      SetGadgetFont(2, FontID1)
      ButtonGadget(3, 115, 3, 16, 16, "r")
      SetGadgetFont(3, FontID1)

 
    EndIf
    Repeat
      EventID = WaitWindowEvent()
      
    Until EventID = #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
  EndIf

**Edit** ohe btw you have to use the api for min, max and close of course..

At first thanks at all.


But this isn't my problem. It is however my guilt.

I explain my problem once again more exactly.


I want to get the handles of the systembuttons of a window to position this button on an other place in my window.
I want to do this by using "SetParent (Button.l,hwnd.l)".
With comboboxes, that functions also.

[Henrik]

But it's not a "Normal" Class Button, i dont think you can get the handle for this.
But i don't know enough about this really so i back off..

Henrik..

@Hroudtwolf: I really don't think you can do it. Even the tip that disables
the X button is just disabling a menu item (which the "button" actually is).

Look at the other link that I have above which shows how to put a pushpin
on the titlebar -- it should teach you how to add other buttons to it.
