@Chris-Kawa Thank you very much, this worked and was exactly what I needed to resolve my issue. Thank you also for the explanations, clear and precise.

I don't know why you don't like it, but the usual way is to add a dummy at the end.

My issue with that solution is that you're getting the information at runtime, instead of at compile time. There is increased chance of errors and there isn't really a need to inquire the meta object system in this case.

Good point Chris. The reason why I suggested otherwise is one can often store data items in QLists or QMaps that might also be needed besides a simple item counter when associated with QTreeView. But I agree, extending the associated 'model' as you suggested is much more appropriate.
