[Req.] Put an [x] on tabs

Post by *commodore »

It's slowly becoming a non-written standard - Firefox 2 has it, Lotus Notes has it... I think Total Commander should have it as well. :)
I'm talking about the little "[x]" icon on the right side of every open tab. Clicking this [x] closes the tab. Any chance of including this into Total Commander's tabs as well?

I dont't like these "[x]". It's like a epidemic plague. :lol: :shock:

I prefer double klicking or middle-mouse-klick.

I support only if it is disengageable. ;)

Yeap! That's faster for mouse users since you do not have to point over an [x] mark but the whole width of the tab is functional. Plus you get a cleaner interface.

I would prefer a crosshair instead of the X and a TC mouse cursor pack with weapons of all kinds: AK47, shotgun, stuff like that...

Unfotunately I've never seen this one in action, but the rough description I've read sounds promising! :mrgreen:

To my knowledge, you cannot place any controls on the tab headers, sorry.
Not quite true. No official method though, but any control may be put on anything. Take for example forth caption button that can be sometimes find on some applications. You cannot place any controls on the caption too, but people still do it.

There is an API function to draw focused and unfocused rect, that is made for this purpose - to create picture that acts like a button on mouse over. People use this method to draw an button to any place and monitor plain windows Click message (LBUTTONDOWN) on that part of desired Device Context (DC) for singnal that it is pressed.

I would like to see [x] also.
Habemus majkam!

Cathode ray tube connected by wire is not related to the mouse.

Indeed, controls are no problem. This enhancement I have requested a while ago, the navigation buttons of Directory Opus:

As you can see, there also is an X but it only wastes space in the titlebar (which is much bigger), not on each tab.
