CMFCCaptionButton Class

The CMFCCaptionButton class implements a button that is displayed on the caption bar for a docking pane or a mini-frame window. Typically, the framework creates caption buttons automatically.

Syntax

class CMFCCaptionButton : public CObject

Members

Constructors

Name	Description
CMFCCaptionButton::CMFCCaptionButton	Constructs a CMFCCaptionButton object.

Public Methods

Name	Description
CMFCCaptionButton::GetHit	Returns the command represented by the button.
CMFCCaptionButton::GetIconID	Returns the image ID associated with the button.
CMFCCaptionButton::GetRect	Returns the rectangle occupied by the button.
CMFCCaptionButton::GetSize	Returns the width and height of the button.
CMFCCaptionButton::IsMiniFrameButton	Indicates whether the title bar height is set to mini size.
CMFCCaptionButton::Move	Sets the button draw location and window show state.
CMFCCaptionButton::OnDraw	Draws the caption button.
CMFCCaptionButton::SetMiniFrameButton	Sets the mini size of the title bar.

Remarks

You can derive a class from CPaneFrameWnd Class and use the protected method, AddButton, to add caption buttons to a mini frame window.

CPaneFrameWnd.h defines command IDs for two types of caption buttons:

• AFX_CAPTION_BTN_PIN, which displays a pin button when the docking pane supports auto-hide mode.

• AFX_CAPTION_BTN_CLOSE, which displays a Close button when the pane can be closed or hidden.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to construct a CMFCCaptionButton object and set the mini size of the title bar.
