How to add an Iconify-Gadget to a Window?

AGS · 14 January 2014, 21:19

Well, easy little question. Some Windows have an Iconify-Gadget. As far I know these are custom. So, how to add one?

I'm not sure 100% but AFAIK the iconify gadget is a feature of MUI programs where you can either enable it globaly on MUI prefs, or per program using it's own MUI prefs.

A windows iconify gadget is also a feature of ScalOS, IIRC.

That's good. So it somehow works. Question is: How can I code such?

Create a gadget and put it into the top border. It's the same procedure as you did with the scroll bars.

Positioning is a bit tricky. As is sizing. You better supply a BOOPSI image to the gadget rather than a static struct Image because BOOPSI images can automatically adjust their size. For correct positioning you have to consider the gadgets which already are in the top right border.

There is a multi-purpose BOOPSI image in Aminet: http://aminet.net/package/dev/gui/titlebar_ic
The TBITest.c example also shows how to create an iconify gadget.

Here is another example with a self-written BOOPSI image class: http://thomas-rapp.homepage.t-online...s/iconifygad.c

You give the WINDOW_IconifyGadget tag to window.class when opening the window. See the OS3.9 NDK for the autodocs. No MUI-crap required.
