### All Model/View Classes

These classes use the model/view design pattern in which the underlying data (in the model) is kept separate from the way the data is presented and manipulated by the user (in the view).

QAbstractItemDelegate | Used to display and edit data items from a model
QAbstractItemModel | The abstract interface for item model classes
QAbstractItemView | The basic functionality for item view classes
QAbstractListModel | Abstract model that can be subclassed to create one-dimensional list models
QAbstractProxyModel | Base class for proxy item models that can do sorting, filtering or other data processing tasks
QAbstractTableModel | Abstract model that can be subclassed to create table models
QColumnView | Model/view implementation of a column view
QDataWidgetMapper | Mapping between a section of a data model to widgets
QDirModel | Data model for the local filesystem
QFileSystemModel | Data model for the local filesystem
QHeaderView | Header row or header column for item views
QItemDelegate | Display and editing facilities for data items from a model
QItemEditorCreator | Makes it possible to create item editor creator bases without subclassing QItemEditorCreatorBase
QItemEditorCreatorBase | Abstract base class that must be subclassed when implementing new item editor creators
QItemEditorFactory | Widgets for editing item data in views and delegates
QItemSelection | Manages information about selected items in a model
QItemSelectionModel | Keeps track of a view's selected items
QItemSelectionRange | Manages information about a range of selected items in a model
QListView | List or icon view onto a model
QListWidget | Item-based list widget
QListWidgetItem | Item for use with the QListWidget item view class
QModelIndex | Used to locate data in a data model
QPersistentModelIndex | Used to locate data in a data model
QSortFilterProxyModel | Support for sorting and filtering data passed between another model and a view
QStandardItem | Item for use with the QStandardItemModel class
QStandardItemEditorCreator | The possibility to register widgets without having to subclass QItemEditorCreatorBase
QStandardItemModel | Generic model for storing custom data
QStringListModel | Model that supplies strings to views
QStyledItemDelegate | Display and editing facilities for data items from a model
QTableView | Default model/view implementation of a table view
QTableWidget | Item-based table view with a default model
QTableWidgetItem | Item for use with the QTableWidget class
QTableWidgetSelectionRange | Way to interact with selection in a model without using model indexes and a selection model
QTreeView | Default model/view implementation of a tree view
QTreeWidget | Tree view that uses a predefined tree model
QTreeWidgetItem | Item for use with the QTreeWidget convenience class
QTreeWidgetItemIterator | Way to iterate over the items in a QTreeWidget instance
