Immediate paint

Yes. But I don't get the point. I mean if there exists a method for the widgets then why items doesn't have one?

Why would they need one? If you want the view of the items repainted, then call repaint() on the view. Items have nothing to do with this. Calling update() on items has nothing to do with repainting the views, that's just a potential side effect of the call. The item only informs the scene it has been changed.

Items are more the model part, widgets are more the view part. You have to paint on view always. For eg : for a treeView, try calling viewport's repaint(). If u have treeWidget, try calling its repaint().
Also if you could provide some more information as to what exactly you wish to achieve..
