I'd start by looking at the code for tree2. You will probably need something like tree2 (or datable for that matter) that knows how to render its own children. You will also need a way to model the data and the state of that data.
Coming soon will be a new TreeWalker interface. That might help give you some ideas as well. Finally, I believe ADF has a tree as well. You can check that implementation.
