ListWidget positions item

[spirit]

why you can't use this method

void QListWidget::insertItem ( int row, QListWidgetItem * item )
Inserts the item at the position in the list given by row.

?

I use this function initialy to add items to list,but function add an item to a specific row not to specific position (row and column) in list. My listWdiget is in Icon mode so i can set an item every where i wish . I search on net and i found just one example to add an item to a QListWidget at specified coordonites. they use in example a derrived class of QListWidget in whicjh they use to add items to list using this function:
QListView::setPositionForIndex(QPoint &point,const QModelIndex &index).

I compile the example and it works.I put the listWidget in designer and try to use same function above and i get error that :
1. i can't use listWidget->indexFromItem(QListWidgetItem *item) because is protected
2. so with setPositionForIndex
the compiler tells me that i can't use this function...i try to create a derivate class based on QListWidget an promote la listWidget from to designer to this classs...and nothig happens same message.. I wander if there is another method to insert item to list to a specified coordonates.

thanks
