Do not use a title bar on the application window, because the title bar contains a Close
button. To turn off the title bar for the application window, in the Project Settings
editor, in the Runtime tab, clear the Title bar check box.
For more information about using the Project Settings editor, see Chapter 4.

Assign visibility animation to the shutdown button, so that the button is only visible
when a user who is authorized to stop the application is logged in. For an example, see
page 11-11.
Or, set up security for the graphic display in which the shutdown button is located, so
only users who are authorized to stop the application can open the display.
