The 'Close'/'X' button is a window style. You have to change the window style (the menu usually follows suit). GetWindowLongPtr(); (Remove the style that enables the close button). SetWindowLongPtr(); And then for good measure, call InvalidateRect() on the HWND. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
