Intercepting and relaying touch events to child items

[A Former User]

Hi Folks,
I'm a newbie to Qt, trying to recreate some custom touch processing code. Can you set up a MultiPointTouchArea to intercept touch events, then selectively pass those events on to child items, all within QML? Specifically, I have a ListView that should scroll when I swipe vertically, but I would like to be able to reposition the ListView horizontally if the user's touch moves horizontally. I have tested this with embedding a ListView in a Flickable object, which works for one ListView, but I have a number of ListViews (panes on a multitiered browsing tree) that need to be laid out with respect to the moving ListView.

I envision something like thise:

@ListView {
id: firstList
// details
}

MultiPointTouchArea {
touchPoints: [
TouchPoint { id: point1 }
]
onPressed:
{
if ( /* test for horizontal move */ )
firstList.x: point1.x
else
firstList.onPressed(point1)
}
}@

Is this possible in QML or do I need to work this kind of logic in C++ with signals and slots instead? Thanks a ton for the help.
Cheers,
Dave
