What would be object name which sends event (Solved)

[giesbert]

you can use QObject::sender() to get the sending object. There you can query for the object name:

@
void myslot()
{
QObject* pObject = sender();
QString name = pObject->objectName();
}
@

Use QObject::sender() inside your slot to get a pointer to the emitter object.

Be aware, that the object returned by sender() is only valid if the slot is called via signal/slot connection (using QObject::connect() method). When the slot is called directly, sender() returns a null pointer.

Thank you Gerolf Reinwardt

Yes Volker it's via signal/slot

[goetz]

Good. Nontheless, I'd put a check if(pObject) { ... } around the code, just to be on the save side.

[Yash]

Ok nice. Now I'll also :)

[giesbert]

I wanted to keep it as small as possible, but I would also do it :-)

[goetz]

To save you a line :-) you can write this:

@
void myslot()
{
    if(QObject* pObject = sender()) {
    QString name = pObject->objectName();
}
}

QSignalMapper might be an option for you, too.
