Yes, I mentioned the same before.  I had reservations in that treectrl =
was
memory hungry, but Tim did address that in part with treectrl 2.2.  =
Still, it
may be more efficient to go with a lightweight solution like treeview.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to write the requisite snidget, but =
from
reviewing the treeview docs, and knowing treectrl pretty well, treectrl =
can do
100% of what treeview requires.  Thus a snidget is possible for someone
enterprising enough to try.  I've even attached the right template to =
start
from.  ;)

Of course, you would probably design the treeview differently, if you =
knew you
planned to build it on treectrl.  That was part of the hesitation to =
include
it in 8.5.
