Hello fellow scripters!
This is my first attempt at useing a tree for anything, I usually stick to radio buttons and drop down lists but the tree is the best option for what I have. I've got it to populate and everything works really nice but what is the best way to get what is selected from the tree? Below is my code.

I'm not sure how to get the selected item, I have the scriptui-2-5 guide from Peter Hahrel and it has been a major help but doesn't say how to get the users choice that I can find.
I made a selection part near the bottom that goes through every item of every branch to get the selection but it never works. I even tried the "cal_Tree.selected" but it only returns the index number not the name.
Always thankful
