Like many of you I need to be able to close a tab page using the standardised close button located on the tab-page (like in any browser)

However that feature is NOT available in PB and will not be for the next 1.5 - 2 years (at least) even though it is a feature request all the way back to 2003-2004 (some 18 years)


So basically the only way is to spend 1800 USD on a tab control form a third party vendor if I want to be able to close a tab-page.


I find it very annoying not to be able to close a tab page since it is standard behaviour of most languages except PB and an expected feature in many applications. (Imagine a web browser that was unable to close at tab page! I dont think it would survive very long)

I'm very happy with Appeon. That being said, in my view, it is clearly a mistake on Appeon roadmap not to make the X button on the tab-page that many many of us needs and just refer to "built it yourself" or wait for a new feature maybe coming some 1.5 - 2 years away!

 

If any of you have a solution .. please let me know :-)
