1. Welcome
----------------------------------------------------
The TreeComboBox is the combo-box with TreeView in its drop-down
window. So user will able to see the tree-like structure in,
select the tree nodes (expand and collapse them), instead of
selecting the items in huge list.

Like in standard TreeView, the TreeComboBox can display images
for each tree node, show image in editor, accept the selection
either on one or double click, contains the label attached to
control, customizeable image for button + many other neat
features, result of combination of ComboBox and TreeView.

The package contains couple of bonus advanced edit controls.
