I m displaying certain frames from a microscope in a cv2.window ( in Python) but problems could appear if the users try to close the window i Is there any way to disable or hide the X close button in the right top corner from a cv2.window, or at least changing its behavior so nothing happens with the window when clicked?

PS: I am using Windows 10, Python 3.6 and OpenCV 4.3.0 image description

Not in OpenCV. U can do in GUI such as python, Qt, etc.

but if I try to close the window with the button the window will remain always open? it can be only closed with keys via waitkey?

This will close window. Put this at the bottomcv2.destroyAllWindows()

Example, When u press q on keyboard. It will close window.:

    cv2.imshow('frame',gray)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

# When everything done, release the capture
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

NO. if you think it's annoying, use a different gui

will remain always open?

each new imshow() call will re-open it
