I found this old thread:

and I would like to know the same thing. Unfortunately, the old thread did
not conclude with an answer.


While it is possible to obtain the button by doing:

NSButton *miniaturizeButton = [myWindow
standardWindowButton:NSWindowMiniaturizeButton];
[miniaturizeButton removeFromSuperview];

this results in a crash.

First, I highly recommend against doing this. If Cocoa keeps them present but disabled then you ought to stick with that

As was mentioned in the old thread, according to the HI Guildlines, it is perfectly acceptable to not have those buttons. Furthermore, it is quite common in several applications for a window to not have a miniaturize or zoom button...particularly NSPanels (they are Windows).


But, in any case, minutes after I posted this, I found an answer:

NSButton *miniaturizeButton = [myWindow standardWindowButton:NSWindowMiniaturizeButton];
[miniaturizeButton setHidden:YES];


while it doesn't appear that one can create a window without these buttons, it is trivial to hide them.

If there is a better solution, I would be interested.
