Re: Add a close button to a Notebook Tab

[Matt Bragano <maestro485 comcast net>]

Try this:

http://gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGtk_1_1Notebook.html#9cc1f87301aa22ca9dc14f86f29db6a4

The first parameter being the notebook page, the second being the widget 
(in your case an HBox).
