python - Is there a way to add close buttons to tabs in tkinter.ttk.Notebook? -

i want add close buttons each tab in tkinter.ttk.notebook. tried adding image , react click event unfortunately bitmapimage not have bind() method.

how can fix code?

#!/usr/binenv python3  tkinter import * tkinter.ttk import *   class application(tk):     def __init__(self):         super().__init__()         notebook = notebook(self)         notebook.pack(fill=both, expand=true)         self.img = bitmapimage(master=self, file='./image.xbm')         self.img.bind('<button-1>', self._on_click)         notebook.add(label(notebook, text='tab content'), text='tab caption', image=self.img)      def _on_click(self, event):         print('it works')  app = application() app.mainloop() 

image.xbm

#define bullet_width 11 #define bullet_height 9 static char bullet_bits = {     0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x78, 0x00, 0xf8, 0x00, 0xf8, 0x00, 0xf8, 0x00, 0x70, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 } 

one advantage of themed (ttk) widgets can create new widgets out of individual widget "elements". while not simple (nor documented), can create new "close tab" element add add "tab" element.

i present 1 possible solution. i'll admit it's not particularly easy understand. perhaps 1 of best sources how create custom widget styles can found @ tkdocs.com, starting styles , themes section.

here's looks on linux system:
