Minimize/Restore

[eljay]

I am creating a menu without a "title bar", which obviously removes the title bar's minimize and exit features. I would like to emulate the functionality of the minimize and maximize (restore) features (sounds included) with a separate button on the menu. Is there a way this can be accomplished using some sort of variable(s)?

Re: Minimize/Restore

Hi,
Simply create a Button with the MINIMIZE action on the Mouse Click Event. This will automatically minimize your menu. If you want to add a sound to this action simply add a PLAY WAV action.
Now as far as the MAXIMIZE option goes, there is no maximize option available in AutoPlay. You will notice that even if you include a Title Bar the Maximize button will be grayed out.
It might be possible to have a maximize option, but it would be fairly complicated and involve closing one menu and opening another. Another problem with using this method would be that it probably would not look very professional.
