There is no direct way to disbale the X button (in property ) in a Windows Form, like there is a property for Maximize button called MaximizeBox = false Or Minimize Box = false.
I have used Win32 API to do so. It is implemented by importing unmanaged DLL [user32] and calling it's functions.
Notes: Before you use code, Please add a Close button in your form so that you can close your app.
Add the following library
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
Declare the following as class level variable
const int MF_BYPOSITION = 0x400;
[DllImport("User32")]
private static extern int RemoveMenu(IntPtr hMenu, int nPosition, int wFlags);
[DllImport("User32")]
private static extern IntPtr GetSystemMenu(IntPtr hWnd, bool bRevert);
[DllImport("User32")]
private static extern int GetMenuItemCount(IntPtr hWnd);
In the Form_Load() event, write the following code
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
IntPtr hMenu = GetSystemMenu(this.Handle, false);
int menuItemCount = GetMenuItemCount(hMenu);
RemoveMenu(hMenu, menuItemCount - 1, MF_BYPOSITION);
}
Hope it will help you all.
Cheers.
