How to remove item from tree?

["Mee Com" <writemessage hotmail com>]

Hi!
        I create a tree  and attach on a table like this........
/* Create the root tree */
 tree = gtk_tree_new ();

/* Create table */
   table = gtk_table_new (8, 8, FALSE);
   gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (hbox9), table);
   gtk_widget_show(table);

 gtk_table_attach_defaults(GTK_TABLE(table), tree, 0,5, 0, 4);

 /* connect all GtkTree:: signals */
 /* Create button click for remove item */

 button = gtk_button_new_with_label("Remove Item(s)");
 gtk_widget_set_sensitive(button, TRUE);
 g_signal_connect (button, "clicked",
                    G_CALLBACK (cb_remove_item),
                    tree);

 gtk_table_attach_defaults (GTK_TABLE (table), button, 0, 5, 6, 8);

 gtk_widget_show(button);
 tree_buttons->remove_button = button;

and I use the function "cb_remove_item" as show on testgtk.c in 
gtk+-2.2.4.zip package like this...

cb_remove_item(GtkWidget*w, GtkTree* tree)
{
 GList* selected_list;
 GList* clear_list;

 selected_list = GTK_TREE_SELECTION_OLD(tree);

 clear_list = NULL;

 while (selected_list)
   {
     clear_list = g_list_prepend (clear_list, selected_list->data);
     selected_list = selected_list->next;
   }

 clear_list = g_list_reverse (clear_list);
 gtk_tree_remove_items(tree, clear_list);

 g_list_free (clear_list);
}

when I click this button,why it still can't remove the member of the tree.
I kept the member of the tree(I mean the item) in an array like this ......
static gchar *onlinenames[] = {"Mee", "John"}
but it still can't remove any of names from the tree when I click this 
button.

Thanks for all of your advise!
Regards,
