The solution is to add CS_NOCLOSE to your window class style. IE
wcex.style =3D CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW | CS_NOCLOSE;

but you will need WS_SYSMENU|WS_MINIMIZEBOX|WS_OVERLAPPED (within
CreateWindow) to get the minimize box showing at all.

This isn't perfect - you still have a close button but its disabled. =
(Close
in the system menu is also disabled).

Hope this helps.
