Add a button to the title bar.

[AznSai]

Can AutoIt be used to add another button to the title bar of an active window?

I want to add a button to the title bar of the current active window and have AutoIt do something when it is selected.

Have a search for ANYGUI in the forums, I think this is what you want

[AznSai]

Thanks for the reply, but no, Anygui doesnt do what i want to do. I want to add a button to the title bar, not anywhere else. If it can be done with Anygui could someone post some example code for me plz?

I think you'll have to create your own custom title bar using a label..

is this a AutoIt Gui, or a 3rd party app?

Could you please place an example?

[AznSai]

Here's an example of what I want to do:

I don't want to change the GUI of my script, I want to add another button to any other active window.

if this would be possible, i would find it very useful. sorry, i dont know how.

I know it's possible, because my ATI Display software does exactly as you describe, but I haven't figured out how to get a handle to just the window caption rect( if there is even such a thing)

I PMed AznSai earlier with the following response as it didn't seem too appropriate to publicly post it, but since a solution hasn't come to light yet...

PowerPro is a freeware utility that allows you to create button/icon bars, hotkeys, timers etc. with the ability to place such a bar within the caption of an active window.

This is a good solution if you are only wanting to implement this for yourself and whenever Windows is loaded.

I think this would involve modifying the window class definitions in the registry...

[Raindancer]

sounds like a HOOK is necessary... out of AutoIt's range at the moment.

Plugins are comming :-)

Even if plugins weren't coming I'm sure you could use a dll to do this anyway .

[AznSai]

did this for fun. adds a button to your title bar. knows right and left click. unfinished (some position tuning needed).

Thanks for your work Larry, I guess I'll have to use this or something similar until what I want to do becomes doable .
