1. treeview has hwndNotify for sending notification messages, WM_CTLxxx messages
can be sent to it as well.

2. In the case SendMessage(WM_CTLxxx) returns 0 (i.e. an app doesn't call DefWindowProc)
you have to call DefWindowProc(WM_CTLxxx) yourself and not create an arbitrary brush.

3. Do not use C++ style comments.
