If the window is a container, a document, a panel, or a palette, the title tab displays a title. For a container or document, the title is the object's name. As a developer, you add the title to a panel or palette when you implement it.
NOTE
A proxy icon appears in the title tabs of both document and container windows. This icon acts as a proxy for drag-and-drop operations. For example, the user could drag the proxy icon for a document to the trash without having to find the document's icon in the container where it resides.
The proxy icon can also be used as a drop destination. When data is dropped on the proxy icon, it is either absorbed or embedded into the root component. If there is an insertion point in the document, the data is typically inserted at that point.
The close box lets the user close the window.
The minimizer lets the user reduce the window to its title tab. When the user clicks the minimizer, the window is reduced to its tab, which remains in its current location onscreen. Clicking the minimizer again restores the window to its original size.
The zoom box lets the user toggle between the window size and position set by the user and the maximum size in the CommonPoint window. If the user hasn't resized or moved the window, the window toggles between its default size and position and the maximum size. Currently, the maximum size is slightly smaller than the CommonPoint window.
