Elements not visible within GuiTreeViewCtrl

Hey guys,
I just played around a bit with Gui Controls and now used the "GuiTreeViewCtrl" which seems best for my XML Editor GUI I try to create. Using this Container Control was okay while adding buttons and Text Labels (Controls).
But when I call the API of the GuiTreeViewCtrl for inserting an item
The item gets inserted which I evaluated with some echoes and calling "getItemValue(1)" function but I do not see any elements in the Gui itself like the adding of buttons etc did.
I'm sure I'm missing something here. Can you guys tell me what little trick I need to do to actually see that tree structure?
EDIT: I thought about hooking onto the event for adding an item and then dynamically add a GuiTextCtrl with the values of that added field - but I could not find an event for the adding of an item, only one for removing - Also I'm not even sure if theres a way to dynamically add new objects to a existing one, like I want to do it by adding the GuiTextCtrl on event triggering.
Greets Charlie!
