Hi Matias,

That was exactly what I was looking for - thanks! The reason for the NN items limit
is that this widget will be displaying rows of data values retrieved from a server
and the number of rows could potentially be in the thousands. So instead of
displaying all the data, I'll limit the list widget to NN and add next/previous
buttons beneath the list to iterate over the data.

As for the fixed size of the tree view widget, after playing around with the table
layout widget I think I have an idea how I can size the list so that it's always a
fixed size.

Thanks.
Regards,


Salman Ahmed
