Minimize button

[Catprog]

Is is possible to have a minimize button on the window?

Tried setResizeAble(true) but that gives me a maximize button which I do not want and a disabled minimize button.

If you don't want to change the engine source I think you can do something like this...

Code: Select all

    IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice( ...

    HWND hWnd = FindWindow( "CIrrDeviceWin32", 0 );
//  HWND hWnd = GetActiveWindow();
    if ( hWnd )
    {
        LONG style = GetWindowLong( hWnd, GWL_STYLE );
        style |= WS_MINIMIZEBOX;
        SetWindowLong( hWnd, GWL_STYLE, style );
        SendMessage( hWnd, WM_NCPAINT, 1, 0 ); 
    }

or if you are not using the software drivers...

Code: Select all

    video::IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();

    video::SExposedVideoData ed = driver->getExposedVideoData();
    HWND hWnd = 0;

    switch ( driver->getDriverType())
    {
    case video::EDT_DIRECT3D8:
        hWnd = reinterpret_cast<HWND>( ed.D3D8.HWnd );
        break;
    case video::EDT_DIRECT3D9:
        hWnd = reinterpret_cast<HWND>( ed.D3D9.HWnd );
        break;
    case video::EDT_OPENGL:
        hWnd = reinterpret_cast<HWND>( ed.OpenGLWin32.HWnd );
        break;
    default:
        break;
    }

    if ( hWnd )
    {
        LONG style = GetWindowLong( hWnd, GWL_STYLE );
        style |= WS_MINIMIZEBOX;
        SetWindowLong( hWnd, GWL_STYLE, style );
        SendMessage( hWnd, WM_NCPAINT, 1, 0 ); 
    }

Thanks.

Now to find out how to do in Linux for cross-platform capability. (In the future )
