Hi all,

I have a Panel with a Button and a TreeView.  In my mouseOver() listener for 
the 
Button I want to highlight the TreeView and vice versa.  The effect I want is 
that there is a single widget with two areas that could be clicked on.

I am trying to emulate the Windows 7 Control Panel, which has an elegant way to 
let the 

user navigate an arbitrarily complex tree of possible child control panels, 
much 

like "breadcrumbs", but better.  To see what I mean, if you go from Start to 
"Control Panel" and then click on "Programs" then "Default Programs" you see a 
list of four buttons that would be breadcrumbs if this were a web page:   ">"  
"Control Panel >"  "Programs >"    "Default Programs".  Unlike your typical 
breadcrumb list, with this approach you can jump to any parent in the path and
also to any of the immediate children of any parent in the path.   This is 
actually
a pretty elegant improvement on the old "breadcrumb" link list.
