Decorating your item models with a checkbox

[andre]

Introducing CheckableProxyModel:

In response to a "question":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/5051/ here on the forum, I started thinking about creating a generalized component to add check boxes to item models. The result is a subclass of QSortFilterProxyModel that decorates its source model with a checkbox in column 0 of each row. The proxy also handles tree-type models.

The class features API to check and uncheck items in from your model, and notifies you using a signal when the list of (un) selected items has changed.

The source code is available from "Gitorious":https://gitorious.org/checkableproxymodel, and licenced under GPL-3.
