I don't understand. 

You have a QStandardItemModel and only put QStandardItem* into the first 
column, and you use setIndexWidget() to set widgets in the other column?

Subclass QItemSelectionModel and reimplement both select methods to have the 
behaviour you want. Just ignore the parts of ranges with column > 0.

Or maybe just reimplement flags() to make the item not selectable. I don't 
know if that will have any side effects.

All the best,
