Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately this didn't help me.

To give you an example of the problem I face, let me explain what I have found so far:

In comparing the QTreeView to QTableView, it appears that Tree provides resizable, reorderable and sortable columns with the correct platform appearance. Table, on the other hand, only offers resizable columns. However, Table seems to provide built-in checkbox, combobox and text in-place editing and display, whereas Tree view does not.

I did try working with a Tree view but found that although I can specify delegate checkbox and combobox editors, it's not so easy to use the same widgets to just display the data. I did manage to get a checkbox to display via a custom 'paint' but there were problems such as the background not being correct when the row was selected. Worse still, I couldn't find a way of just drawing a combobox.

Am I missing something or does everyone override the base views heavily to get this kind of functionality?

Thanks again.
