Minimise and maximise buttons in Flex Store

Question

Hi,
I'm writing a Flex app and would like to implement something
similar to the Flex Store's minimise and maximise buttons. I know
how to add an icon using titleIcon in the Panel properties but I
would like to add two buttons to the panel header. Can anyone give
me any ideas on how to add these buttons to the header of the
panel?
Thanks in advance,
Pete

Hi
I'm trying to do something similar and I'm looking at the
code from Flexstore to work out what is going on.
The problem I'm having is I keep getting:
"Access of undefined property titleBar"
"Access of undefined property statusTextField"
"Access of undefined property titelTextField"
Is there something obvious that I'm missing? I'm really new
to Flex and it could be something obvious.
I wondered if it was something to do with the changes made
for the final release, but when I downloaded the Flexstore source I
got it to work locally.
Here is the code I'm using that is sat inside a panel
component:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.core.IUIComponent;
import mx.effects.Move;
import mx.containers.Panel;
[Bindable]
private var titleButtons:CatalogTitleButtons;
override protected function createChildren():void
super.createChildren();
titleButtons = new CatalogTitleButtons();
titleBar.addChild(titleButtons);
override protected function
layoutChrome(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
super.layoutChrome(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
titleButtons.width = unscaledWidth / 2;
titleButtons.height = titleButtons.measuredHeight;
titleButtons.move(statusTextField.x - titleButtons.width,
titleTextField.y);
]]>
</mx:Script>
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
