    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.

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

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

                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.
