Question

I want to make an horizontal listView works as a delegate for another veritcal listView, I’ve wrote the following code:

import Qt 4.7

Item {
    id:main
    width: 360
    height: 640

    Component{
        id:myDelegate
            ListView{
                id:list2
                spacing: 5
                width:list.width
                height:list.height/3
                interactive: true
                orientation: ListView.Horizontal
                model: ListModel {
                    ListElement {
                        name: "Bill Smith"
                        number: "555 3264"
                    }
                    ListElement {
                        name: "John Brown"
                        number: "555 8426"
                    }
                    ListElement {
                        name: "Sam Wise"
                        number: "555 0473"
                    }

                    ListElement {
                        name: "Sam Wise"
                        number: "555 0473"
                    }

                    ListElement {
                        name: "Sam Wise"
                        number: "555 0473"
                    }
                }
                delegate: Text{text:name
                width: main.width/3}

                focus: true
                MouseArea {
                    anchors.fill:  parent
                    onClicked: {
                        ListView.list2.currentIndex = ListView.list2.indexAt(mouseX, mouseY)
                    }
                }

            }
    }

    ListView {
        id: list
        clip: true
        spacing: 5
        anchors.fill: parent
        orientation: ListView.Vertical
        model: Model{}
        delegate:myDelegate

//        highlight: Rectangle {
//            width: list.currentItem.width
//            color: "lightsteelblue"
//            radius: 5
//        }
        focus: true
        MouseArea {
            anchors.fill:  parent
            onClicked: {
                list.currentIndex = list.indexAt(mouseX, mouseY)
            }
        }
    }
}

The vertical listview scroll well but the horizontal one does not scroll.
Any help?
Thanks

I tried it once and it didn’t work, the outer list handles all events. The solution was to have a Flickable additionally to the ListViews and anchor the contentX of the horizontal and contentY of the vertical lists to contentX and contentY of the Flickable.

Some semi complete code to show the principle:

Item {

    ListView {

        anchors.fill: parent
        clip: true
        orientation: ListView.Vertical
        interactive: false
        contentY: listController.contentY
        delegate: ListView {
             orientation: ListView.Horizontal
             interactive: false
             contentX: listController.contentX
        }

    }

    Flickable {
        id: listController
        anchors.fill: parent
        contentHeight: vert.contentHeight
        contentWidth: horizontalElement.width
    }

}
