Steve: InsertItemBef works.
I couldn't find a method that returns an item's position under a node, so I wrote a sub to loop through all the children of a node and calculate the index(get_item_index). Surprised this function wasn't in wxWidgets. AppendItem is also useful as it has two behaviours. 1. Appending to a node adds a new item to the node in the last position. 2. Appending to a leaf, creates a new item in a level below the leaf. I agree that it's better if the implementation matches the wxWidgets docs since that's all we have. I've read the XS stuff on the wiki and I don't know enough to understand it yet. Thanks for the help.
