How to add a close button with swt.TabItem?

TabFolder tabFolder = new TabFolder(composite, SWT.CLOSE);      

TabItem tab1 = new TabItem(tabFolder, SWT.CLOSE);
tab1.setText("Tab 1");

TabItem tab2 = new TabItem(tabFolder, SWT.CLOSE);
tab2.setText("Tab 2");

I have swt.TabFolder and it has swt.TabItems on it. I want to have a closed button with these TabItems, so I can close the tabs I want at runtime. and i dont want to use CTabFolder or CTabItem

can someone tell me what i can do for this purpose?

public DomainUI(Composite composite, TabFolder newTabFolder, boolean comingFromSelf)
    {       
        boolean itemsDisposed = false;
        TabItem[] itemsOnTabFolder = newTabFolder.getItems();
        String[] namesOfItemsOnTabFolder = new String[itemsOnTabFolder.length];
        if(comingFromSelf) // checking when to dispose other tabs
        {
            if(itemsOnTabFolder.length != 0)
            {
                for(int i=0; i<itemsOnTabFolder.length; i++)
                {
                    namesOfItemsOnTabFolder[i] = itemsOnTabFolder[i].getText();
                    itemsOnTabFolder[i].dispose();
                }
                itemsDisposed = true;
            }
        }
        final Composite compositeInTab = new Composite(newTabFolder, SWT.NONE);
        compositeInTab.setLayout(null);

        // CREATIION OF LABELS AND TEXTFIELDS
        systemCodeLabel = new Label(compositeInTab, 0);
        systemCodeText = new Text(compositeInTab, SWT.BORDER);

        domainNameLabel = new Label(compositeInTab, 0);
        domainNameText = new Text(compositeInTab, SWT.BORDER);

        organizationalUnitLabel = new Label(compositeInTab, 0);
        organizationalUnitText = new Text(compositeInTab, SWT.BORDER);

        organizationNameLabel = new Label(compositeInTab, 0);
        organizationNameText = new Text(compositeInTab, SWT.BORDER);

        systemCodeLabel.setText("System Code");
        domainNameLabel.setText("Domain Name");
        organizationalUnitLabel.setText("Organizational Unit");
        organizationNameLabel.setText("Organization Name");
newTabFolder.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() 
        {
            public void mouseUp(MouseEvent arg0)
            {
                TabFolder curFolder = (TabFolder)arg0.widget;
                Point eventLocation = new Point(arg0.x, arg0.y);
                TabItem item = curFolder.getItem(eventLocation);
                if(item == null)
                    return;

                Image image = item.getImage();

                // check if click is on image
                if(        eventLocation.x >= item.getBounds().x + image.getBounds().x && eventLocation.x <= item.getBounds().x + image.getBounds().x + image.getBounds().width
                        && eventLocation.y >= item.getBounds().y + image.getBounds().y && eventLocation.y <= item.getBounds().y + image.getBounds().y + image.getBounds().height)
                {
                    System.out.println("Close tab");
                    item.dispose();
                }
                else
                {
                    System.out.println("Don't close tab");
                }
            }

        });
}

TabItem

does not have this feature (it will ignore the style SWT.CLOSE

you are using). There is no other way (I know) than to use CTabItem

and use style SWT.CLOSE

. You will need to replace TabFolder

with CTabFolder

.

See this page or this page for a good example.

Alternatively , if you can't go away from TabItem

, you can add an image x

to each tab using item.setImage(xImage);

and add Listener

to the folder, handling the "close". Of course the element x

will then be on the left and not on the right ...

Managed to make it work. Just replace with img/x.gif

your close image (for testing, you can use:) display.getSystemImage(SWT.ICON_ERROR)

:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Display display = Display.getDefault();
    final Shell shell = new Shell(display);
    shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());

    final TabFolder folder = new TabFolder(shell, SWT.NONE);

    TabItem item = new TabItem(folder, SWT.NONE);
    item.setImage(Images.loadImage("img/x.gif"));
    item.setText("Text");

    TabItem item2 = new TabItem(folder, SWT.NONE);
    item2.setImage(Images.loadImage("img/x.gif"));
    item2.setText("Text2");

    folder.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {

        @Override
        public void mouseUp(MouseEvent arg0) {
            TabFolder curFolder = (TabFolder)arg0.widget;
            Point eventLocation = new Point(arg0.x, arg0.y);
            TabItem item = curFolder.getItem(eventLocation);
            if(item == null)
                return;

            Image image = item.getImage();

            // check if click is on image
            if(        eventLocation.x >= item.getBounds().x + image.getBounds().x && eventLocation.x <= item.getBounds().x + image.getBounds().x + image.getBounds().width
                    && eventLocation.y >= item.getBounds().y + image.getBounds().y && eventLocation.y <= item.getBounds().y + image.getBounds().y + image.getBounds().height)
            {
                System.out.println("Close tab");
                item.dispose();
            }
            else
            {
                System.out.println("Don't close tab");
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void mouseDown(MouseEvent arg0) {
        }

        @Override
        public void mouseDoubleClick(MouseEvent arg0) {
        }
    });

    shell.pack();
    shell.open();
    while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
        if (!display.readAndDispatch())
            display.sleep();
    }
}


The result looks like this:

Before closing:

Before closing

After closing:

After closing
