What's happening when closing a CTabItem? [message #439679]

Hi,

I am using a CTabFolder with a listener to listen for the Close event that
is fired when the user closes a tab by pressing on the small cross. I am
listening for the event, because I am performing some ops that need to be
done before the tab is closed.

My questions:

1.) Is the tabitem already closed when the event is fired, or will it get
closed after the close() method in the listener was left?

2.) Is the tabfolder doing a simple tabitem.dispose() when closing a tab
or is it more? I implemented that a doubleclick on a tab closes it, by
disposing it. But maybe disposing it is not the same way the tabfolder is
doing it?

Thanks for help,
Ben
