Neil,

I've been working on something similar and gave up because I couldn't
get the trees to show in the tabboxes when the trees were created
dynamically.  My original post here in the forums is linked below.
I'm using the approach you mentioned above but no luck.  I'm posting
this because in hopes the original poster doesn't run into the same
issue.
