Hi Tiemo, As it happens, I'm facing the opposite problem in Java: there's always a close box and you can't seem to get rid of it. UI guideline-wise the main reason why there's no Close box is simple: what is the effect of closing the dialog box without clicking on any of the presented options? If the dialog only has a single button (OK, Cancel,...), it's clear: the close box is simply the same as the only button. You could conceivably have a standard that the Close box is the equivalent of Cancel, but what does that say about a dialog box with two buttons "Choice 1" and "Choice 2" without a "Cancel" button? Best to avoid user confusion altogether, and force them to click one of the options you provided as buttons. Just my 2 cents, Jan Schenkel.
