Thank you, that is a great reference.

I was hoping that each Node would have its own Paint method that I could
override (each one called by the main Paint routine in sequence) so that I
could just alter each Node's "top" property before it was drawn,
re-positioning it below the space taken by the wrapped nodes above it.

However, it looks like the TreeView just has one Paint method and if I
override it I will have to completely redraw the whole treeview myself... (am
I right about that?) That would be fine if I had the original code and I
could just tweak it, (I don't suppose Microsoft has released the code for
it...) Anyone have code lying around for rendering a hierarchical TreeView?
