I want to create tab control that has button inside it's tab. Something like this[^] image.

Tab has close button added and I need something like this. I also have to enable Visual Styles.

English is not my native, so I was not able to formulate efficient search criteria for Google. I found nothing, not even a single example. All I get as a search result is adding controls to the body of the tab control via child dialog box. I found nothing on MSDN either so I decided to ask for help here.

Again, my question is:

How do you add button to the tab, like in the image above?

Thank you.

I'm sure you can find what you need on CP KnowledgeBase[^].

Here you've got two articles:
TabCtrl[^]
Custom Tab Controls, Tabbed Frame and Tabbed MDI[^]

Thank you for trying to help. I have browsed through all the links you provided but was not able to find a case I need. I just need a close button in tab, like in the image from my post. Unfortunately, all the links deal with owner drawn tabs but none adds close button to the tab control...
