Complete CTree Array Class available?

Its simple, I've been trying to do a class, so that you can fill it up with an array of hierachial information...the same as used in CTreeCtrl

e.g.
branch = insertitem("string", branch);

Then I wanted to develop a method withing the class, so I could pass it a CTreeCtrl object, and it would fill it up.

Has anyone come across anything like this? I've tried for ages to put somthing together...but I jsut can't get it to work....its either nodes are missing...bugs popping up all over the place...

Really appreiate any help

Thank you ..thank you...thank you

;)
