Hi, I've downloaded version 1.0.1.0 from Github and there is the same problem in MDI child form.
This is a capture of my form:

and this the code for button creation:
Public Sub CreaMenu(objForm As Windows.Forms.Form)
Dim menu As TheCodeKing.ActiveButtons.Controls.IActiveMenu = TheCodeKing.ActiveButtons.Controls.ActiveMenu.GetInstance(objForm)
Dim button As New TheCodeKing.ActiveButtons.Controls.ActiveButton()
button.Text = "..."
menu.ToolTip.SetToolTip(button, "Apri azioni aggiuntive...")
AddHandler button.Click, AddressOf Button1_Click
menu.Items.Add(button)
End Sub

The form is called as a MDI child form:

Dim objForm As New frmTestGiuseppe
objForm.MdiParent = Me
objForm.Show()

I'm unable to reproduce the MDI issue. Try the latest version on Github and let me know if you still have an issue.

Hi, there is a bug when I attach ActiveButton to an MDI child form. The button is painted outside the caption area and also it remains visible when I close the form.
Thank you.

Hi,

I had a bug where the ActiveButton would remain shown if I programmatically .Hide() the parent form.

In the file ActiveMenuImpl.cs, in the OnPosition() mehtod, I added the following check:

if (Items.Count > 0)
{
if (parentForm.Visible)
{
this.Opacity = parentForm.Opacity;
}
else
{
this.Visible = false;
}
}

It resolved the problem. I am using Windows Vista Business.

Besides this minor issue, the library is awesome.
Thanks for sharing!

Cheers,
Charles

@CrossIron do you mean to achieve the rollover glow? It's not possible with this library. The standard min/max/close buttons are actually rendered by the DWM to achieve the glow effect. I don't think it's possible to replicate this.

@nicegirl_caro_sex this library is designed to allow developers to add buttons to a .Net Windows Forms application. It doesn't allow buttons to be attached to an external window such as explorer.exe (although a similar technique could be used to achieve this). It would be difficult to do what you suggest, but probably not impossible. I'd suggest looking at extending the context menu instead with a custom shell extension.

I want add a additional Button to the Explorer.exe to make special Actions. In the end, every user should get no rights and needs to klick on the additional button on next to minimize button and there they can "rename/delete/create files" with special rights.

Should be possible , shouldn't? Teamspeak can do it either!
