“[The standard tree control, for example, is limited to single-line entries.]

Am I right to assume that it also does not support Undo?”

No, it doesn’t have any built-in support for Undo, and that’s why you don’t see it in most simple outliners based on the standard tree control.

Undo isn’t too hard to implement, however, using a stack and a set of operations each of which has an inverse.

But enough about programming. This is a fascinating thread about the relative merits of one- vs. two-paned outliners! I tend to agree with the idea that single-pane outliners are better for writing continuous documents, and multi-pane outliners for storing discrete chunks of information.
