Sounds like an interesting approach.

I don’t really have an idea to something like this, but I would be interested in
some ideas to this kind of approach.

I think it should be possible with xmlmodel and one listview. You can simply attach link as xmlrole and in delegate in mousearea you can change source of xmlmodel. Will it be ok for you or I’m wrong somewhere?

the question is whether you want to display root and inner xml elements simultaneously or not.
if you do then use listview in your delegate, if not – just change source property of the model

I need to be able to show the parent and child xml lists at the same time for a nice looking transition, but once the transition is over I will only need to show one list. Another challenge is that I need the last selected item the user saw when leaving a list to be remembered; so when the user returns to that list it will be as they left it. I am doing that by storing the indexes of each list’s selected item in an associative array, and that seems to work.

Denis, your approach sounds pretty interesting. I will have to use two list views, but I could do a round robin kind of thing for the two list views. And I would have to store a history (stack or have children store links to there parent xml file) so the user could navigate in both directions.

Thanks for the ideas
