Example of categorized lists in a Mail-type interface

Hi all,

I would appreciate it if someone could point me at an example that I could use as the basis for building a categorized list similar to the mail folders display in Mail.

I have a data model that has an entity called category and another called item. These have a one to many relationship (an item is in just one category, while a category can have many items). I want to have a list of categories in the left panel, with a disclosure arrow to open up for a list of items in that category. Selecting each item shows the detail to the right. As with Mail the category titles should not be selectable, but only open or close via the arrow. BTW I am only looking for one level of hierarchy below the category, so it is different from Mail in that respect.

I'm probably missing something obvious but I can't see how to start with building or coding this.

Anyway, I'm not looking for a complete solution, obviously, but some pointers or examples to use as a starting point.

Thanks for any guidance you can offer.

Regards,


Ian.
