It would be great if Ttabsheet has a close button at the caption area.
or option to put it.
I know it is possible in QT. It there any intention to add this
capability?

thanks

I'm fairly sure the TNotebook has this in the Options, but as you say
it would be good for TTabsheet and TPageControl as well.

I've tried what you've mentioned. But it looks like TNotebook's close
button property is not working for me.My platform is
Win XP, Laz. 0.9.29.22078 fpc 2.2.4. ( not a stable version)
However I've also tried in the stable version but it  didnt work also.
Can you please test it? I dont want to put a post to bugtracker until
I am sure.

Thanks for the reply.

tabs in Lazarus for Windows. Linux GTK+ has this though.

Close button on Tabs is only available for Qt and Gtk.

some Windows projects have it? Take a look, for example Notepad++.

Windows API does not give a direct way to do this. You can draw the
tab yourself of course and handle clicks.

I wouldn't mention Notepad++ when talking about an application that
behaves well.
The biggest bug: Ctrl-F4 doesn't close a document, which for a text
editor (i.e. heavy keyboard usage) is a major showstopper.
(And the 2nd one: RE's are so limited they are virtually unusable.)

And even if you draw it yourself you wouldn't get it 100% the same in
vista or win7. I needed some hacks to draw themed tabs on XP, on
vista/win7 the winapi lacks one message to draw the "orange" mouseover
colors.
