# Description

Use the zoomBox property to display the zoom box or maximize box in a window's title bar.

The terminology varies depending on platform. The zoomBox property determines whether the zoom box (Mac OS and OS X systems) or maximize button (Unix and Windows) appears in a stack window title bar.

>*Note:* On OS X, if the zoomBox property is false, > the zoom box is disabled rather than hidden.

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

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