Hi Niall, What you suggest is the fall back design. I'm confused as to why Jedy is trying to add radio buttons to the treeView. Since radio buttons are "single selection" it is sufficient for the user to just click on the row to select it. I would be surprised if that functionality isn't already part of the view. The mockup shows no radio buttons...
