    You can't. The minimize/maximize buttons are something that is under the control of the window manager and not something an application programmatically controls. For some window managers (such as KDE), these appear for both normal windows and transient windows (e.g. forms), but for other window managers they only appear for normal windows.

    If you have a window manager that doesn't add minimize/maximize buttons on transient windows and doesn't give you the option to do so, then the only option is a form window - this is where you use hiCreateWindow and associate that with a form (this is covered in the documentation).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
