Saving data from a CTreeCtrl to XML

Hi,

I started programming in VC++ about a month ago, and have gotten great help here.

I could use some help with this : I have a ctreectrl, where each root item and each child item have a set of attributes(apart from the ItemName). I am trying to figure out a way to save the state to disk when the application terminates.

I also need to keep track of the data in the tree ar runtime, i am goingt to try and use separate vectors for parent and child items in the tree for that. Each child item's data would include a field for parent name, so they'll all be interconnected.

Its the saving to the disk and then initializing from disk part that i could use some help with. I've been asked to use XML for this.

Any links to tutorials or samples would be great.

Thanks :)
