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

EnableCloseButton does not remove the close button, it simply gives it a
“disabled” appearance (at least on Windows). If you want to remove the
close button then one of the StackOverflow answers should be the solution,
unless your window manager on GTK prevents wxWidgets from doing it. If
that’s the case, then you don’t have that many alternatives.
