Use the TabControl.DrawMode property to implement custom drawing. There's a good example of a DrawItem event handler in the MSDN Library article. Use Graphics.DrawLine() or DrawImage to draw the x. Use the MouseUp event to detect a click on the x. You'll need the GetTabRect() method to find out which tab was clicked. And narrow down the location to verify that it was near the x.
