this means you need to allow propagation in your event handler.  if you 
trap an event for exactly the right cell, return true to stop 
propagation, if it's not yours, return false to let the default 
handlers run.

have you looked at Tim-Philipp Müller's excellent treeview tutorial?

i'm sure it explains something like this.
