For any of you who write DLL's, I have a question:
Is it possible to make a window with an icon in the title bar, like with Real Player or America Online...
Just an idea... Wink

Icons are loaded into the EXE during window creation.
I think there's a utility to replace icons, but you must
replace it with one the same size...

You could use a NOTITLE window and build your own
title bar, using whatever icons/bitmaps you want...

Yes, that is true, but what I meant was a title bar compatible with all OS's, and the icon could be placed by the CLOSE, MINIMIZE, MAXIMIZE butttons, etc...the drawback to a NOTITLE sytle is that you have to minimize to the sys tray, and the look will not update with the OS's...

Thanks anyway... Smile

WINDOW ICONIZE minimizes the window to the taskbar,
not the systray. It doesn't show an icon (on a NOTITLE
style) when minimized though.

I agree there are alternatives, but the title should minimize into the task bar, not above it. If worse comes to worse, I just won't use the icon in the title bar...it doesn't matter anyway because I was just wondering about that... Smile

Thanks anyway...

When compiled, it does minimize into the taskbar...

I think he means when you use NOTITLE Mac. Version 4.0 or lower does minimize to taskbar with NOTITLE but with VDS 4.5 it minimizes above it, on top of the start button. SADE changed that with 4.5

I reported that to SADE.

I hope there's going to be an optional style for that.

Thanks Marty, Wink

I'm still using VDS 3 (and prolly gonna stay that way...).

Sorry FreezingFire, I didn't realize what you were up against. Confused

Cheers, Mac Smile

Oh, Ok, well I didn't know that in VDS 4.0 and below minimized into the taskbar... Embarassed
