The application can only be close oneself, not through the task manager, etc.
Thank you all.

I doubt if we can do anything like this. But will wait for others to reply.

As per me, it would be a security issue if we have such thing. Think of a maleware/apps that can gather data from your system and cannot even be closed for taskmanager even if you found and try to.
Another example: Antivirus programs that run too can be closed via Task manager. They are the best candidates to be marked as not closeable from anywhere but program itself.

There is absolutely no legitimate reason to do this.

This is certainly possible somehow. I suggest reading through these answers here:

I would suggest you to not implement this feature though - since this is not user friendly. One option that may be easy to implement is to have a windows service in the background that checks if your app is running and restarts it if required. Either way - please don't do this since it is an almost virus like behavior.
