Steve: Thanks.
I assume that you were looking in TreeCtrl.xs(I'm starting to see how/where things are done!) I see that InsertItemPrev needs two item pointers while InsertItemBef uses one pointer and one index. I'll give InsertItemBef a try, it's not in the wxWidgets docs. I guess wxPerl needs unique names for alternate constructers? It looks like the wrapping uses wxTreeItemId, so I guess that could be used to create a new blank item if needed. James
