I'm wrong. It is possible to get rid of the close button and still have title bar.

Here's how to do it in VB. I'm sure it's possible in C++ too Smile

In C++ (info found on usenet)

Disable the close button

EnableMenuItem( GetSystemMenu( hWnd, 0 ), SC_CLOSE, MF_BYCOMMAND
|MF_DISABLED );

Remove the close button (I think).

HMENU hMenu = GetSystemMenu( hWnd, 0 );
int nNbItems = GetMenuItemCount(hMenu);
RemoveMenu(hMenu, nNbItems - 1, MF_BYPOSITION);
RemoveMenu(hMenu, nNbItems - 2, MF_BYPOSITION);

And handle WM_SYSCOMMAND (SC_CLOSE) if you want also to disable [Alt]+[F4]
