can i make my own type of button on the titleMaximize Minimize

[JasonLpz]

How can i put my own type of button on the title bar of my program ? Like right next to _ and X and the square.

Take a look at this thread.

[JasonLpz]

how did yo get the square

What square?

[JasonLpz]

the maximize square

Oh, I changed the font to Marlett.

Set the Caption Property to Null String
And Also Set the ControlBox to False.

Create A Picture Box In the place of titlebar.
This is your custom titlebar.

In the event

Private Sub Picture1_MouseMove(Button as Integer,...)
If Button Then
ReleaseCapture ' Declare This API Before Using
SendMessage Me.hWnd,&HA1,2&,0 'Declare This API Too

'If You Want To Play Sound
'sndPlaySound "SoundName",&H1 'Declare This Too.
Endif
End Sub


You can then add more picture boxes or image boxes or
any thing that has a click event in the place of the
minimize, maximize and close buttons and act accordingly.

Hi,
this is really good, but how do you create your custom titlebar when using a menu? I tried it, but the menu was above the titlebar.
I'd like to have a 4th button in the titlebar to minimize the form to tray, how can I do that?

thanks
