If you want to disable the X, you can do it numerous ways

try

Code:

' Declaraions and Functions
 Private Const MF_BYPOSITION = &H400
    Private Const MF_REMOVE = &H1000
    Private Const MF_ DISABLED = &H2

  Private Declare Function RemoveMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As IntPtr, ByVal nPosition As Integer, ByVal wFlags As Long) As IntPtr
    Private Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal bRevert As Boolean) As IntPtr
    Private Declare Function GetMenuItemCount Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As IntPtr) As Integer
    Private Declare Function DrawMenuBar Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr) As Boolean

Public Sub DisableCloseButton(ByVal hwnd As IntPtr)
        Dim hMenu As IntPtr
        Dim menuItemCount As Integer

        hMenu = GetSystemMenu(hwnd, False)
        menuItemCount = GetMenuItemCount(hMenu)
        Call RemoveMenu(hMenu, menuItemCount - 1, MF_DISABLED Or MF_BYPOSITION)
        Call RemoveMenu(hMenu, menuItemCount - 2, MF_DISABLED Or MF_BYPOSITION)
        Call DrawMenuBar(hwnd)
    End Sub

on form load call this

Code:

DisableCloseButton(Me.Handle)

Have fun
