How to Disable the Windows Close Button 1

[PRPhx]

I have a project with several forms. I need to know how to disable the form's Close button (The one in the upper right hand corner) for all form's except my main form. Any ideas/code samples would be helpful!

I've searched the internet, but there isn't much availble for vb.net 2003.

Thanks in advance.

Put this in the code for the form that you want to have the close button disabled:

Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As CreateParams
Get
Dim CS_NOCLOSE As Integer = Int32.Parse("200", Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber)
Dim cp As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
cp.ClassStyle = CS_NOCLOSE
Return cp
End Get
End Property

I got this code from this link:

I got this link as the first URL in a Google search for 'vb .net 2003 disable form close button'

in the FormClosing event of the child forms, add the following:

If e.CloseReason <> CloseReason.ApplicationExitCall Then
  e.Cancel = True
End If

Glad I was able to help! Yeah, it can be difficult sometimes to hit just the right words to get what you want from Google.
