Thanks for your reply!

The example you provide is very useful, even though it is not exactly 
what I had in mind. I was looking for a single close button that belongs 
to the notebook, and not a button for each tab. Yet your solution works 
well for me, so unless someone suggests something different, I will use 
your approach.

Best regards,

Niklas.
