Its good to see you tricking the treeview:-). The is a download #16575 that has sourced some of the suff you are working through. If you can use actual key field data for your node keys, it seems to make it easier to point back and forth. For example, you select a grid row, use the the key fields in that row to "select" a tree node. Or - the reverse - you select a tree node, use the nodes key value to point to a row in the grid.

An issue with node's text is that two nodes may have the same string in their text - but - only one [uniquie] string can be applied as a node's key.
