minimizeBox

Type

property

Summary

Shows a window's minimize box or collapse box.

Syntax

set the minimizeBox of <stack> to {true | false}

Description

Use the minimizeBox property to display the collapse box or minimize box in a window's title bar.

The terminology varies depending on platform. The minimizeBox property determines whether the collapse box (Mac OS|Mac OS systems), minimize box (OS X and Windows|Windows systems) or iconify box (Unix systems) appears in a stack window's title bar.

note

On OS X systems, if the minimizeBox property is false, the minimize box is disabled rather than hidden.

The setting of this property affects the decorations property, and vice versa. Setting a stack's minimizeBox property determines whether its decorations property includes "minimize" (or is "default", for window styles that normally include a minimize box). Conversely, setting a stack's decorations property sets its minimizeBox to true or false depending on whether the decorations includes "minimize" (or is "default" ).

Setting the minimizeBox property causes the stack window to flash briefly.

Examples

set the minimizeBox of me to true
set the minimizeBox of the templateStack to false
