I started grasping the idea that it was using the TreeModel Interface 
but I currently don't understand interfaces all that well. I managed to 
get a little bit further thanks to your reply. I'm not getting the rows 
but they're empty. I know that items to be added are getting passed to 
the AppendValues method but they're aren't showing up. I'm assuming this 
has to do with something along the lines of the TreeView.AppendColumn 
but the ComboBox widget doesn't have something similiar (at least I 
can't find it). Does this have to do with the TreeModel interface?

This is the similar code to what I have minus other junk that's being done.
What am I missing?

            typesSelect = new ComboBox(model);
            TreeStore typesStore = new TreeStore(typeof(string));
          
            string [] types = userAccount.GetTypes();
            typesSelect.Model = typesStore;           
            for(int i = 0; i < types.Length; i++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(types[i]);
                TreeIter iter = typesStore.AppendValues(types[i]);
            }

Thanks for all your help. I've been at this for two days off and on and 
it's driving me nuts.
