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.
The last time I tried something like that (and this behavior may have
changed since then), it left a "hole" in the tracking area of the
title-bar where the button was, resulting in a dead area that looks
like you should be able to move the window, but you can't, which
turned out to be quite frustrating (this was one of those "narrow
windows that didn't need those controls so remove it so there would be
more room for the title and window dragging" cases).
