Your problem might be that treeview uses twips and not pixels so you have to do a conversion for it to work (there are 1440 twips per inch and you can get the number of pixels per inch using the GetDeviceCaps API call)
IAC you can find examples for D&D with a treeview on the Files section of the UT (the cabinet icon)
