I've been toying with the idea of having the treeview in a tabset in 
which users can create new treeviews using a node on an existing one as 
the root on a new one. I just haven't got round too it (too many ideas, 
too little time :-( )

That doesn't sound too hard - the dialog already has the required 
controls on it (albeit hidden in the scenario you're using it in) - we 
could just display them and default their values to what we currently use.

Anyone want a little starter project?
