Hi Jim,

Lupus (Gtk-Perl maintainer) suggested 5 Dec 1999:
---------------------------------
gtk_ctree_node_get_text() works only when the node is a text node.
You should use gtk_ctree_node_get_pixtext() if it's a pixtext one,
and so on.
Anyway, I added gtk_ctree_get_node_info() to the bindings.
---------------------------------

So I reckon that for col 0 (pixtext) you need:

  $ctree->get_pixtext($ctree->selection, 0);

I don't know if this works for all columns - perhaps just try it.

I don't know what you get from $ctree->get_node_info($ctree->selection);
but perhaps this helps.

HTH, Dermot
