Answer 1

The headers of the columns or the rows will be obtained from your model by the view. The function used to obtain the header data is virtual QVariant headerData ( int section, Qt::Orientation orientation, int role = Qt::DisplayRole ) const (C++ documentation). In order to change the headers shown, you should be able to override this function and return the information you want shown for the proper section/orientation. You might want to check the various roles that you can also have requested.
