I guess you are asking for the red button. I have not tried that. But this may work.

1. Declare protected member like below inside MainWindow

protected:
     void closeEvent(QCloseEvent *event);

2. Inside it's implementation you can ignore the event that should prevent exiting application (never tried)

void MainWindow::closeEvent(QCloseEvent *event)
 {
      event->ignore();   // event->accept() works just opposite
 }
