Hi,
I have an MDI application but I would like to hide the minimize, restore and maximize buttons which appear at the right end of the menu bar. Looking through the Prof-UIS code I found: CExtMenuControlBar::IsDisplayMdiDocumentButtons(). Will deriving a class from CExtMenuControlBar and overiding IsDisplayMdiDocumentButtons() to return false do what I want? If not is there another way to hide these buttons?

Thanks,

Dear Neville,

You are right: Just create your own class derived from the CExtMenuControlBar class and override the IsDisplayMdiDocumentButtons virtual method:

bool CMyMenuBar::IsDisplayMdiDocumentButtons() const
{
    return false; // default implementation returns true
}
