Hi folks,
I have a very narrow but tall tool palette (NSPanel utility window)
that needs to have "Tools" written in its title bar, and a single red
close button. If I design the panel in IB, and only check "close box"
(not miniaturise or resize) I still get all 3 on the title bar, albeit
miniaturise & maximise are disabled (but they still take up valuable
title bar space).
If I attempt the same thing programmatically, using [[NSPanel alloc]
initWithContentRect:styleMask:backing:defer:] I end up with the same
situation... the 2 redundant & disabled buttons push the title "Tools"
half off the edge of the window's title bar.
I searched mamasam and someone in 2002 had this problem but the only
solution known at the time was to do a Carbon panel. Has anything been
improved since 2002 does anyone know?
Doesn't it make sense for some types of utility window to not have
mini/maxi buttons? I mean, a disabled button infers to the user that
for that specific window it may one day become enabled (otherwise it
wouldn't be there), yet in my case it will never be enabled for this
little puppy.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Ken
