QItemDelegate and QCheckBox

[KShots]

Hello all,

I'm attempting to implement a checkbox delegate in my tree view, and I'm running into two problems:

1. The checkbox only appears when I attempt to "edit" a given cell. I'd rather it appear at all times.

2. When the checkbox does appear, it "overlays" the existing text, making it difficult to read. See the pictures below.

I'd appreciate any input on the above two problems. I can provide some code, but I suspect I'm having more of a concept problem than a code problem. Thanks!
