How to create a frameless window, but use Windows' system controls (min,max,close)

Re: Using system window buttons in frameless QWindow

Is there a way to achieve this yet?
Is there perhaps a way to do this via some Win32 code?

Reason/Rationale being that I want to put custom controls in my title bar area, but don't want to lose the native window controls, such as when you hover on the maximise button.

Hi,

This thread might still be relevant.

Thanks. Following that link I was able to find a bunch of threads on the matter. All widget based and all seem to have a bunch of complexity.

It looks like maybe Qt used to handle this itself with QtWinExtra's extend in client area stuff.. But seems that's not made the move to Qt6.

(What I actually want is to put controls in the title bar)

@Dynite while the module has not been ported to Qt 6, you might still leverage its content.
