When you click the close button, a WM_CLOSE message is sent to the window that was used in the AddTab during initialisation.

So, in that child window, add a WM_CLOSE message handler and do something like this:

void CMyTabWindow::OnClose()
{
    // nb - must be created with the tab ctrl as parent
    CMFCTabCtrl *pTab = static_cast<CMFCTabCtrl*>(GetParent());
    pTab->RemoveTab(pTab->GetActiveTab());
}

Try with DeleteItem(index) on your CTabCtrl. This will remove the tab from your tab control.
