I don't think you can intercept and cancel the window
closing event.  Perhaps all you can do is set the
frame to be visible again.  Annoying, but unless you
change the container to a dialog box, for which you
do get a chance to cancel an attempt to close, you
are stuck ... unless someone knows some other trick.
