Removing Close Button From Windows

This snippet was obtained from a reply found here.

Private Declare Auto Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, _
ByVal bRevert As Int32 _
) As IntPtr

Private Declare Auto Function GetMenuItemCount Lib "user32.dll" ( _
ByVal hMenu As IntPtr _
) As Int32

Private Declare Auto Function DrawMenuBar Lib "user32.dll" ( _
ByVal hWnd As IntPtr _
) As Int32

Private Declare Auto Function RemoveMenu Lib "user32.dll" ( _
ByVal hMenu As IntPtr, _
ByVal nPosition As Int32, _
ByVal wFlags As Int32 _
) As Int32

Private Const MF_BYPOSITION As Int32 = &H400
Private Const MF_REMOVE As Int32 = &H1000

Private Sub RemoveCloseButton(ByVal frmForm As Form)
Dim hMenu As IntPtr, n As Int32
hMenu = GetSystemMenu(frmForm.Handle, 0)
If Not hMenu.Equals(IntPtr.Zero) Then
n = GetMenuItemCount(hMenu)
If n > 0 Then
RemoveMenu(hMenu, n - 1, MF_BYPOSITION Or MF_REMOVE)
RemoveMenu(hMenu, n - 2, MF_BYPOSITION Or MF_REMOVE)
DrawMenuBar(frmForm.Handle)
End If
End If
End Sub


The other code found here doesn't work. It grays out the X button but it is still functional.
