ButtonPos / DragBarLocation
These are a propperty that defines where on the dragbar to put the button/label. It consist of a Left, Right and Center option. To that there is also a DockID for the button/label, which defines what button/label to go first and so on. That means that if you have all three buttons, where the exit button has the DockID set to 0, and set to sit on the left side, then the Exit button would be furthest to the left. The logic to set the location of the control in the dragbar is a public function, and can be accesed with: GetControlPos(DragBarLocation ControlPos, int DockID, int ControlWidth), if you would want to put something in the dragbar your self. The dragbar panel is also a public panel, that can be accesed normaly with the NDX class.
Drag style
| Dragstyle | Function |
|---|---|
| Normal | Nothing special, just a normal drag animation. |
| Opacity | When you hold the mouse down on the dragbar, the whole forms becomes partially invisible, the degree of invisability can be set with the public variable DragStyleOpacityFactor, wich is normally 0.75, which is 75% visable. |
