Closing TabControl pages with middle click

Question

How can a tab pages in a TabControl be closed with the middle click, like they are in internet explorer? I found some similar questions here, but they don't quite answer this. One article that I found said to use this code:

var tabControl = sender as TabControl;
            var tabs = tabControl.TabPages;

            if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Middle)
            {
                tabs.Remove(tabs.Cast<TabPage>()
                        .Where((t, i) => tabControl.GetTabRect(i).Contains(e.Location))
                        .First());
            }

but I found that this only works when I middle click within the page, as opposed to on the tab part.

Thanks!

private void tabControl1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button = MouseButtons.Middle)
    {
        TabPage tab = tabControl1.TabPages.Cast<TabPage>()                   
           .Where((t,i)=>   
            tabControl1.GetTabRect(i)
            .Contains(e.Location)).First();
        if (tab != null) tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(tab);
    }
}

Hi, 

Seems there is no issues with the code you are using. Did you see any exceptions?
