Thanks for the response Andre

Can you go into a little more detail on these two approaches? 

As far as the custom delegate approach, I'm assuming that if I follow the Spin 
Box Delegate Example 
(http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-itemviews-spinboxdelegate-example.html) and 
just replace the spin box with a checkbox that would get me there?

And then with the event filter approach, what would I actually be filtering on? 
I'm assuming you're suggesting to filter all clicks on the QTableWidget and 
then trying to detect if it's over a checkbox via cursor position, and then 
handle the click different based on that? My main sticking point with that is 
that a checkable QTableWidgetItem doesn't seem to be an actual QWidget, so I'm 
something like qApp->widgetAt(QCursor::pos()) isn't going to tell me whether 
I'm over the checkbox, it's going to tell me I'm over the QTableWidget, right? 
So I'm not seeing how I tell whether the mouse was over the check box's pixels 
or not. Let me know if you meant something else for this approach.

What does that do for me in this case? My table is very simple, it's basically 
a read-only table EXCEPT for allowing the user to check/uncheck items. Maybe 
I'm wrong in my ideas, but I tend to view QTableWidget as working pretty nicely 
for very simple tables like this but with it you get less control than 
QTableView. I feel like when I've used QTableView for situations like this that 
it takes more code just to get up and running when compared to creating the 
QTableWidget. I'm totally willing to change my views on QTableView vs. 
QTableWidget if you think I'm wrong!
