I have a modal dialog, and need to hide the Close (X) button, but I cannot use ControlBox = false, because I need to keep the Minimize and Maximize buttons.

I need to hide just Close button, is there any way to do that?

Thanks a lot!

Update: I had permission to disable it, which is simpler :) Thanks all!
