Is there a way to have a minimize button on a cextcontrolbar when it is floated ?

The floating mini frame window is a kind of Win32 tool window, i.e. it has the WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW extended window style. Tool windows never have minimize/maximize/restore caption buttons. Besides, the state loading/saving algorithm for resizable control bars works with the floating bars in the normal state only. Of course, we can implement this button for you, but we are now overloaded with other work on the next release. If this important to you, please let us know so that we can do this later.

It is possible to code and insert any kind of custom caption button for the resizable control bar. Please provide us with more details on your requirements. What behavior you expect when such a minimize button is clicked?

I dont want the control bar to look any different when it is docked I would like a minimize button on the window when it is in a floating state. The action of the minimize button would minimise the floating window to appear at the bottom of the screen. When in a minimised state the minimise button would need to appear as a maximise button which would restore the window to its floating size.
