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

I do this in some code with this:

        self.plotFrame = wx.Frame(None,wx.ID_ANY,lbl,size=size,
            style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE ^ wx.CLOSE_BOX)

This seems to be platform independent and deactivates the "close" button 
which may still appear as grayed-out depending on the platform. I don't use 
this on toplevel Frame but I think it will still work.
