This is another simple class that has been inside ssUltimate for quite a long time now. But I designed this solely for the need of TitleBarX when I experimented on creating a control box that is purely made of shapes.
However, recently I am changing my forms' appearances again and I now favor a form with no titlebar and border that is run maximized. And while users of my app know they can always press Esc key to exit any of my forms, I still want an additional way for them to close it via a mouse. I have other classes for those need, i.e., CloseX, CloseX2 and CloseX2s (smaller version). But I suddenly thought last night it would be cooler to have a controlbox that has all that minimize, maximize/restore and close buttons. Only that though. I still do not want a titlebar as I use vfp's own _Screen and having its titlebar and another titlebar below it does not appeal to me. So I tweaked this one last night. Now it can be dropped onto your form as well (if you intend to have a form that has no titlebar too) and it will adjust itself accordingly. Though I have to kill its form pinning feature which is available for use in TitleBarX. Here is how it looks like on one of my forms:
