Disable The Close Button ('X') On A Form
Mar 25, 2008
I am attempting to disable the close button "X" in the controlbox of a form and keep the maximize and minimize buttons. There does not appear to be a way to accomplish this with conventional VB code or using the Form's Properties.
So I ventured into the realm of API's.
I declared the following API Calls and Constants:
Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" Alias "GetSystemMenu" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal bRevert As Long) As Long
Declare Function EnableMenuItem Lib "user32" Alias "EnableMenuItem" _
[Code].....

I have been asked to remove or disable the close button from our VB .NET 2005 MDI application. There are no native properties on a form that allow you to grey out the close button so the user cannot close it, and I do not remember seeing anything in the form class that will allow me to do this.
Is there perhaps an API call or some magical property to set or function to call in .NET 2005 or later to do this?
More information:
I need to maintain the minimize/maximize functionality
I need to maintain the original title bar because the form's drawing methods are already very complex.

I have set up a notify icon for my form. I want to make it so that when the user clicks the close button that it doesn't close the form it just takes it to shows the notify icon. They can exit the program from the notify icon. Can someone tell me how to keep it running?

I have a form that the user must enter some important information and the only way of leaving of that form is to enter the correct info. By mistake I close that form from the X on the upper right side realizing that my code restrictions on that form was not enough. How can I disable close (X) of that form? I checked the form properties but I couldn't find anything about that just to disable maximize and minimize.

I'm currently in the process of building a text editor type program, and have run into a brick wall. I haven't done VB in years, so I may just need a little reminder on some things. I have coded everything so far as far as opening files, saving them, changing fonts, colors, etc. However, I'm looking to add a Close button to my menu strip that will just close the currently opened file, and not the entire program, while also ask the user if he/she would like to save before closing the file, and then if they select yes, it will show the save dialog, and if not, it will go ahead and close the currently opened item.

I'm making an equation program and I want to have a main menu where the user can select an equation and then when one of the buttons is clicked, it closes the "selection" form and opens the appropriate form. For now I just have it set to show the proper form (for example, Form3.Show) but when I try to do something like Me.Close() after it, everything closes instead of keeping Form3 open.
