Abstract
A method for interactive display of a graphical tree structure in a windowing environment. A tree control graphically represents hierarchical data. The user can separate a portion of a tree control at a node and create a new tree control for viewing and editing. Changes to a newly created tree control propagate through to related tree controls.
