   3 A tree control presents information as a hierarchy, with items that may be expanded
   4 to show further items. Items in a tree control are referenced by long integer handles.
   5
   6 To intercept events from a tree control, use the event table macros described in \helpref{wxTreeEvent}{wxtreeevent}.
