This does not work for me.  Not even a little bit.  What I found *does* work is this simple bit of code added to any frame (in this example, 'testframe')
 
 
  testeditbox = CreateFrame("EditBox",nil,testframe,"InputBoxTemplate")

To make your main frame closable with the ESCape key go into the OnLoad function and add the following line : 

tinsert(UISpecialFrames,"MainFrameName");

where MainFrameName is the name of your main frame of the application.

Example

<Frame name="ExampleFrame" parent="UIParent">
	<Size>
		<AbsDimension x="640" y="512"/>
	</Size>
	<Anchors>
		<Anchor point="CENTER" />
	</Anchors>
	<Scripts>
		<OnLoad>
			tinsert(UISpecialFrames,this:GetName());
		</OnLoad>
		<OnShow>
			PlaySound("igCharacterInfoOpen");
		</OnShow>
		<OnHide>
			PlaySound("igCharacterInfoClose");
		</OnHide>
	</Scripts>
</Frame>

Description

this:GetName() returns the current UI Object's name and in this case our Frame Name. Using this will make the code more generic.

the OnShow and OnHide parts will play the usual sound that's played when you open/close blizzards frames - e.g. your character frame

EditBoxes and OnEscapePressed

EditBox type frames have an "OnEscapePressed" handler, which will prevent this method from working with them. For these frames you can instead use: 

 myeditboxframe:SetScript("OnEscapePressed", function(self) self:Hide() end)
