    I'm currently trying to find the button name with this but it says 'expression must have class type'.

    QPushButton* button = (QPushButton*)sender();
    QString btn = button.objectName();

      Hi
      When casting QWidgets please use the Qt version and not c-casts.

      void MainWindow::on_pushButton_2_clicked()
      {
      
          QPushButton *but = qobject_cast<QPushButton * >( sender() );
          if (but)
              qDebug() << but ->objectName();
      }
      

      Note that if sender is not a QPushButtonm then "but" will be null and will crash
      if you use it. Hence always use the if check :)
