MDButtonsBar (TMultiDocButtonsBar) is a very small component, derived from TPanel, for help you in MDI Applications, using MultiDoc component.

The component and a demonstration program can be found on the Lazarus CCR SourceForge site or on My Geocities Web-Site.

This component requires the MultiDoc Component.

It is supposed to work on all the Lazarus platforms without change.

Tested only in Win2k.

This example can be used as a skeleton for a new application (this is an "advanced" example of demo of MultiDoc).

At design time:

On the application main form place a TMultiDoc.
Create a child form with a main TPanel.
Put all the object you want for the child to the panel, write the event, etc...
Do not rely on some TForm event as this form is never show.
Add an TMdButtonsBar.
Set the HintMinimize, HintRestore, HintMaximize properties.
Set the VisibleButtons property.
Use events OnCloseClick, OnRestoreClick and OnMinimizeClick to handle the actions in MultiDoc (See Demo)

If possible, change MultiDoc package to Register in Palete Page MultiDoc too :-)!
