setCellWidget(row, column, new QLineEdit);
...
setCellWidget(row, column, new QTextEdit);

See also columnCount() and setRowCount().

void QTableWidget::setCurrentCell(int row, int column)

Sets the current cell to be the cell at position (row, column).

Depending on the current selection mode, the cell may also be selected.

See also setCurrentItem(), currentRow(), and currentColumn().

See also horizontalHeaderItem().

void QTableWidget::setHorizontalHeaderLabels(const QStringList &labels)

Sets the horizontal header labels using labels.

void QTableWidget::setItem(int row, int column, QTableWidgetItem *item)

Sets the item for the given row and column to item.

The table takes ownership of the item.

Note that if sorting is enabled (see sortingEnabled) and column is the current sort column, the row will be moved to the sorted position determined by item.

If you want to set several items of a particular row (say, by calling setItem() in a loop), you may want to turn off sorting before doing so, and turn it back on afterwards; this will allow you to use the same row argument for all items in the same row (i.e. setItem() will not move the row).

See also item() and takeItem().

void QTableWidget::setItemPrototype(const QTableWidgetItem *item)

Sets the item prototype for the table to the specified item.

The table widget will use the item prototype clone function when it needs to create a new table item. For example when the user is editing in an empty cell. This is useful when you have a QTableWidgetItem subclass and want to make sure that QTableWidget creates instances of your subclass.

The table takes ownership of the prototype.

Selects or deselects the range depending on select.

void QTableWidget::setRowCount(int rows)
