Qt equivalent of .NET data binding?

Question

Is there an equivalent of .NET\'s data binding in Qt?

I want to populate some combo boxes and other widgets with QStrings that refer to specific entities in my database.

One way is using Qt Model/View Classes (with base at QAbstractItemModel), but they need that you widget inherits QAbstractItemView (this is widgets like QTableView etc.).
If you want map Qt model to set of widgets, which haven't nothing common with QAbstractItemView you can use QDataWidgetMapper, which maps separate widget to Qt Model/View indexes. But anyway, as said Aaron Digulla, you must write some boiler plate code...
