Re: How to create a window that cannot be closed by clicking on the X button

There are obviously philosophical discussions to be had around the wisdom
of removing window controls, but I will leave those to others and answer
your question most directly.

This is accomplished with the proper value passed for the frame style
parameter when you create the frame.

The value to be passed is wx.STAY_ON_TOP.

see https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/wx.Frame.html

Best of luck ;)
