capture menubar

[battles]

I need to capture the menu bar button in a program to make it do
something other than Max/Min the program's window when the button is
clicked. Any way to do this? Thanks.

WM_SYSCOMMAND

Monitor that windows message..

you need to look for the SC_MAXIMIZE and SC_MINIMIZE
flags in the hCmdType.

Make sure you pass the message on as un handled unless
you are trying to block something ?

That's not yours to mess with. People have reasonable expectations about
what it will do.

Any _reason_ to do this? What do you want to make it do anyway?
