C# WPF Disable the exit/close button

Question

Is it possible to disable the close button in a WPF form? How can I disable the close button?

I have been searching around and found the solution below. But that works only in Windows Form!

private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
      e.Cancel = true;
}

look at this : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/743906/how-to-hide-close-button-in-wpf-window — Javidan, Apr 21 '13 at 15:38

in wpf this event called Closing :

public Window4()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.Closing += new System.ComponentModel.CancelEventHandler(Window4_Closing);
    }

    void Window4_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
    }

You need to implement a windows hook to accomplish that. See this MSDN post for details.
