Hi Bertwim, 

I agree that the model/view design seems broken in only supporting paint in
QItemDelegate for display modes - and even that aspect was poorly documented
in earlier 4.x versions!  

What problem do you have with setIndexWidget?  Obviously this will only work
for small data sets.  

When you can't find a feature in assistant, always try the 'list all
members' link.

Tony.
