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

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.

@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.

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
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.

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..

@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.
