Qt Designer QListWidget checkbox

Question

I am using PyQt4 and Qt Designer. I have a QListWidget in which I populate after loading a file in my program.

I want to set it so that all items will be checkable, as opposed to just selectable. I have found online that this is a 'flag' of the QListWidget, however, in Qt Designer I can't see where to do this.

Is it possible?

Solution

You can do this by opening the edit list widget item tab , and look into the properties. and set the checkState property.

**UPDATE **

item = QtGui.QListWidgetItem()
item.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("Dialog", x, None,    QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
item.setFlags(item.flags() | QtCore.Qt.ItemIsUserCheckable)
item.setCheckState(QtCore.Qt.Unchecked)
self.listWidget.addItem(item)

okay i see that now, but thats only after you make an item. I dont have any items in my list. I populate the list after the program starts, so the checkboxes are not for individual items but for all items that will be in that listwidget

@user1938107 : share the code that you use to load the gui and how you populate the itemwidget

i have a list widget, it is called myListwidget, and i populate it by self.myListwidget.addItem(someString)

so addItem just auto creates the QListWidgetItem() without needing to specify it but then doesnt allow for setting the flags? It would make sense for qt to just have an option for all items in a list to be checkable upon creation
