Hi, I thing this is not possible of removing close button. Because the form loaded by means of inherit from the form class. But we use control box said to be False n Remove all text in text in the Text Properties. Which will remove close button n Max n min buttons also. Then it is batter to create of ur own of Max n Min button...

Thank you for your reply I don't use Form , I want to disable Close button of any window in system , using Window Style flags Among all Window Style flags , I find that the "SysMenu" flag is only flag to remove Close button ( plus system menu and other titlebar buttons ) But , I can create a Form with disabled Close button , by this way : 1. Handling WM_StyleChanging message , don't allow changing "SysMenu" style 2. Set Form.ControlBox=False This is the picture[^] And , I don't know why , when I use Spy++ to view Form's window styles , before and after disabling Close button ( using above two steps ) , Form's window styles doesn't change My question is : How to disable Close button using Window Style flags ?

I will do it by disabling Close menu item in window's system menu

Why do you prefix your replies thusly? I'm not making a critisism or anything, I'm just curious.
