    Question How do I add a button to any window's titlebar

    I've already found a lot of posts about the adding of a button to a window's titlebar, but none of them was suitable to use on other windows. The only thing I actually need is a kind of class which only requires hWnd.

    Actually it is possible. See Minimizer-XP

    I guess, adding the button in titlebar will not be a hard work.
    But for trapping the 'Button_Click' event, hooking may be the only way.

    yeah, i sure know it is possible... plenty of examples around here...
    my problem is the hooking outside a vb window. it works, but when i want to put it in the titlebar, it hides underneath it. i guess another thing that's impossible in vb...

    Sure its possible but to do it in other apps will require the use of a more powerful language like C++ or write a dll in C++ and then finish it with VB.
