If you're looking for a "mechanism" by which your application can 
"react" to your TreeView selection changing and modifying your GUI 
accordingly, you need to use signals (the one I suggested to you might 
be a good one).  You can read the following to understand signals:  
http://gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/chapter-signals.html 
(I'd look at the whole programming guide at 
http://gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/index.html).

As far as which widget you might use to show several others, a 
Gtk::Notebook might work, but you can probably use one of the "Gtk::Bin" 
widgets by adding and removing your widgets (see the API docs for other 
widgets: http://localhost/doc/libgtkmm-2.4-doc/reference/html/index.html).

I couldn't tell you how to do this in Glade because I haven't gotten 
around to using Glade when programming with gtkmm.
