# Description

Use the minimizeBox property to display the collapse box or minimize box in a window's title bar.

The terminology varies depending on platform. The minimizeBox property determines whether the collapse box (Mac OS), minimize button (OS X and Windows) or iconify box (Unix) appears in a stack window title bar.

>*Note:* On OS X, if the minimizeBox property is > false, the minimize button is disabled rather than > hidden.

The setting of this property affects the decorations property, and vice versa. Setting a stack's minimizeBox property determines whether its decorations property includes "minimize" (or is "default", for window styles that normally include a minimize box). Conversely, setting a stack's decorations property sets its minimizeBox to true or false depending on whether the decorations includes "minimize" (or is "default" ).

Setting the minimizeBox property causes the stack window to flash briefly.
