TabPage / TabControl (can't close tabs)

[Benne]

Hi,

Does anybody know if it's possible to have the small "x" on the tabpages in
a tabcontrol ? I need a nice way to close them, without a big, ugly buttom
on the tabpage itself. It would be cool if the "x" was on the tab "header"
(the one you click on when you want to switch to a tab).

Thanks,

Bene

see the TabControl at
http://www.dotnetmagic.com/

They have Visual Studio type Tab Controls (where the X is in the top
right corner of the row with all tab "headers").

maybe i'm oversimplifying it, but it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to
override the OnPaint method, paint an X, and then detect mouseclicks on that
X and close the tab when it's clicked.

hi michael,

thanks alot. i haven't seen that one before. but the X is not on the header,
but at the right side next to them. it's good, but it would be awesome if
the X was on each header itself.

but thanks alot !
