TreeView Content from 2 XML Files

Is it possible to create the Parent Node in TreeView from one XML File and add the children from another XML File?

Yes because you create the model and therefore can do whatever you want.

As @Christian-Ehrlicher says, but note it's because you aren't actually having the QTreeView's model be the XML, only whatever you did with it to get it into some model you are using. If you used QDomDocument as your internal model you wouldn't be able to add nodes from one XML document directly into a different one.

Yes I used QDomDocument for creating the model that I am bounding to the treeview.

This is what I am trying to achieve.

I thought if I put the values in different XML files it might work out. However it seems that it wont.

Please guide me as to how I should proceed with this

I only know from experience with XML documents. You have to import nodes from a different XML document if you want them, which is effectively copying them, not just using/pointing to them. For QDomDocument I would expect to have to use QDomNode QDomDocument::importNode(const QDomNode &importedNode, bool deep), which I think you should read/apply.

This is all supposing you want a valid, full QDocument for your model. As @Christian-Ehrlicher says, since the QTreeView only actually recognises/uses a QAbstractItemModel you can do what you like behind the scenes to supply that in your own way from multiple XML files (not one QDomDocument) if you wish.
