Right. How about
 void setItemFixed(int id, ind width=-1);

when width=-1, width will be fixed according to text, so all you have to do is

  sb->insertItem(string, id);
  sb->setItemFixed(id);

Plus 

  void insertFixedItem(string, int id);
 
which does what theese two lines do. IŽll do that tommorow.
