How we can disable the close [X] button in the top right corner of GUI?

You can also override the QClose Event to handle it. Thus giving you the option to pop up a "Are you sure" box, or send the mainform to the hidden taskbar area, or just ignore the event all together.

where should I add this line exectly?
setWindowsFlags(Qt::WindowCloseButtonHint, false);

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)


{
    ui->setupUi(this);

}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
 ui->textEdit->setText("this is for test");
}

jsulm

@Mijaz Please read again what @Gojir4 wrote:
"Add setWindowsFlags(Qt::WindowCloseButtonHint, false); in your widget's constructor"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :

    ui->setupUi(this);
    setWindowsFlags(Qt::WindowCloseButtonHint, false);
}

Hi,
I am using qt4.8.7.
your suggested command not working.

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
#include <QDebug>

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
   setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowCloseButtonHint, false);
    timerId = startTimer(1000);
}
MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    killTimer(timerId);
    delete ui;
}
void MainWindow::timerEvent(QTimerEvent *event)
{
    qDebug() << "Update...";
    ui->lineEdit->setText("test  ");
}

jsulm

@Mijaz Please read documentation: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#windowFlags-prop

setWindowFlags(windowFlags() & ~Qt::WindowCloseButtonHint);

Important information, that one should state in the opening post.

besides that, looking into the Qt4 Documentation shows the following:
https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/qwidget.html#windowFlags-prop
with an actual example on how top use it:
https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/qt-widgets-windowflags-example.html

->

setWindowFlags(windowFlags()  & ~Qt::WindowCloseButtonHint);

@Gojir4
Now this is working

{
    ui->setupUi(this);

    timerId = startTimer(1000);
    this->setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowMaximizeButtonHint);
}

@Mijaz great
just a warning, since you're on linux. Not every WindowManager will support the individual showing/hiding of Window-Buttons

@Mijaz said in

:

this->setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowMaximizeButtonHint);

Keep in mind that this way you disable all other flags. But as long as this is fine for you you can do it this way.

@J-Hilk
yes, When I deploy it to the board then it still showing the close mark.

How I can remove this permanently?

J.Hilk

@Mijaz change the window manager on the board...

Here a guide, on how to do it on GNOME, should be similar for all Linux flavors

@J-Hilk
Now I have removed the title bar. and its working on board also.

    setWindowFlags(Qt::Dialog | Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::WindowTitleHint);
