Probably not. setData() is there to change the data of existing items in
the model. Not to add new data - at least not with the Qt::EditRole.

flags() has the item as parameter so you can just check its column value
and return different flages based on that.

Yeap for arbitrary data you'll need that. IIRC Qt only supports combobox
editor for boolean values (i.e. if data() returns a boolean)

BTW: Qt4.4 contains an editable tree model example so you might want to
have a look at that. It only enables editing of plain strings, but its
probably a good starting point nonetheless.
