making only the close button disapear

[diqua]

how can i make the close button disappear on a form but still keep the icon?

If you mean disabling it, I'm not exactly sure how to grey it out, nor am I sure its possible. To disable the form from closing when you click it is possible, however. Simply put this in your code.

VisualBASIC:

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)     Cancel = True End Sub

Most immediate thing that comes to mind is setting the ControlBox property of the form to false.
