Title Bar Buttons
Buttons associated with the common
commands of the primary window should be placed in the right hand side of the
title bar.
One or more of the following buttons
appear in a primary window:
| Restore: |
Restores the window. |
 |
Maximise: |
Maximizes the window. |
 |
| Minimise: |
Minimizes the window. |
 |
| Close: |
Closes the window. |
 |
When displaying these buttons, use
the following guidelines:
|
When a command is not supported
by a window, do not display its corresponding button. |
| |
|
|
The Close button always
appears as the rightmost button. Leave a gap between it and any other buttons.
|
| |
|
|
The Minimize button always
precedes the Maximize button. |
| |
|
|
The Restore button always
replaces the Maximize button or the Minimize button when that command is carried. |
| |
|
|
Clicking a title bar button
with the left mouse button (1) invokes the command associated with the command
button. |
| |
|
|
Clicking a title bar command
button with right mouse button (2) to display the pop-up menu for the window.
|
| |
|
|
The system does not support
the inclusion of the context-sensitive Help button available for secondary windows.
Applications wishing to provide this functionality can do so by including a Help
toolbar button. |
| |
|
Rules for Multiple Window Applications:
|
Avoid including Maximize,
Minimize, and Restore buttons in the title bars of secondary windows because those
commands do not apply to those windows. |
