Hallo Andre,
Thanks for reply. Can I find an example anywhere.
I don't want to read the whole Model/View Architecture documentation.. :D

When using QListView, you need to provide your own model (derived
directly or indirectly from QAbstractItemModel). To make an item
checkable, you need to return 1) the correct combination of flags from
QAbstractItemModel::flags(), 2) make QAbstractItemModel::data() return
appropriate data for Qt::CheckStateRole and 3) to store the checks,
implement setData() for the same role. This is also where you can
"access the checking and unchecking" of the item. You can, in your
QAbstractItemModel subclass, create a signal that you emit if the
checkstate is toggled.

Obviously. The flags is plural. That is: it is a combination of multiple
flags that control different aspects of the look and feel of the item.
If you only set Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable, you are not setting
Qt::ItemIsEnabled... You need to set the correct *combination* of flags.
You can do that by bitwise or-ing them together. Read the QFlags
documentation for details.
Also, don't forget to set the actual value of the checkbox using
QListWidgetItem::setData(Qt::CheckStateRole, QVariant(Qt::Checked));

Andr?
