   Re: Add button to Title bar

   Anders,   
      
   I like your idea of using the form's close() to save the position.  I still   
   need some way to turn off the dialog mode (for the next time the window opens).   
      
      
   Does anyone have a way to put an extra button on the title bar?  Or, can   
   a toolbar somehow be linked to a dialog form instead of just the Pdox desktop?   
    FYI, I use a screen capture utility (FullShot 7) that puts 6 extra buttons   
   on every open window.  That's what I'm trying to duplicate.  Any ideas?   
      
   With multiple monitors, the Paradox desktop should at most be only as large   
   as one of the monitors.  I want to be able to let the user 'park' a form   
   on the other monitor, which I can only do by opening the form as a dialog   
   (otherwise it can't leave the Pdox desktop).   
      
   I've got the openAsDialog worked out, including using a preset position.   
    I just need a way to let them adjust the dialog once it is opened - without   
   access to a menu, or design-mode on a form (since they'll be delivered).   
      
   The users are constantly referring to some of the overview screens in my   
   application.  Currently, they have to open them or window to them if already   
   open.  I want to let them park them over to the side and leave them open   
   all the time.  Any other windows they use would open in the regular Pdox   
   desktop.   
      
   Thanks,   
   Jim Moseley
