I also needed to use this panel in four different places. First option was to create a Panel component and absolutely position a button by placing the Panel container within a Canvas container. I really don’t like absolute positioning and before this was considered I had already begun researching extending Panel over on Doug McCune’s Blog. However, related to the problem which I was trying to solve, his really cool example was just a point in the right direction for me. Ultimately, Simeon, reminded me that I had a perfect example available in my Adobe Flex 2 Training from the Source book. So here is how to extend the Panel class and add custom properties to suit your needs, in this case the addition of a button placed in title bar.

Seems like calculation / instantiation of viewMetrics changed in Flex3 and that's what preventing this code not to display properly.

I've tried to use your component, but I have errors in flex3: 1178: Attempted access of inaccessible property controlBar through a reference with static type com.dougmccune.controls:ExtendedPanel.controls. ExtendedPanel.as line 59 As a beginner I can only guess what's wrong ;) "private var controlBar:ControlBar;" delete the error, but the ControlBar doesn't work properly at the top. Hi!

I stand corrected... for which I apologize. You would need to put the AppplicationControlBar within a VBox to do what I was trying to describe. Good catch.

I know an ApplicationControlBar is supposed to dock to the top of an Application, but I don't think you can get it to dock to the top of a Panel. Let me know if I'm wrong. hmm, using an ApplicationControlBar and docking it to the top of a Panel?
