 This probably could be made to work too but why not just save the state of
the tree control and restore it when you recreate the dialog? This is a
more usual way of doing what you want and it's guaranteed to work.

 It's surprising that it works under Windows as I'm pretty sure you can't
just hide the modal dialog, you need to call EndModal().
