Hello All -

Bertwim's post had the key to my question:

   QTableWidget::setCellWidget()

Now that I look more carefully at the QTableWidget documentation, I see
the setCellWidget method.  It does (almost) exactly what I want, and I've
tried it out with a QGroupBox of radio buttons, with good success.

As for Bertwim's original question about putting a QWidget in a QTableView
I'm still stuck with being able to edit with QItemDelegate, but not
display, etc.

(Sorry, Bertwim.  Your post helped me, but I haven't been able to return the
