Back to "sender()" analysis...

[Anonymous_Banned275]

RTFM on "sender()" is a challenge...
dumpObjectInfo(); returns "void" and outputs to "debug" ...?

Any way to get it to output to real debug
such as " text " - qDebug() << text ?

  QObject *RXobject = sender();
   RXobject->dumpObjectInfo(); 

Addendum

How can I fix this:

/mnt/A_BT_DEC10/BT__PROGRAMS/A_JAN11/A_BT_LIBRARY/terminal_Bluetooth/mainwindow_Bluetooth_copy.cpp:3884: error: 'senderSignalIndex' is a protected member of 'QObject'
mainwindow_Bluetooth_copy.cpp:3884:19: error: 'senderSignalIndex' is a protected member of 'QObject'
int i = RXobject->senderSignalIndex();
                  ^
/home/nov25-1/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/include/QtCore/qobject.h:435:9: note: can only access this member on an object of type 'MainWindow_Bluetooth'
    int senderSignalIndex() const;
        ^

and why I cannot use it "inside " this function ?

void   MainWindow_Bluetooth::processMenu(int index_submenu, int index_mainmenu)
{
#ifdef LAMBDA
    text = "TASK DEBUG connect... "; //connect
    text += Q_FUNC_INFO;
    text += QString::number(__LINE__);
    // move index to class !!!
    text += " main loop index_main ";
    text += QString::number(index_mainmenu);
    text += " embeded loop  index_sub ";
    text += QString::number(index_submenu);
    text += " main loop class passed index ";
    text += QString::number(index);
    qDebug() << text;
#endif
    {// analyze indexes received block

        QObject *RXobject = sender();
        RXobject->dumpObjectInfo();
**int i = RXobject->senderSignalIndex();**
//        int SenderIndex = RXobject::​senderSignalIndex();

        //text = RXobject->dumpObjectInfo();
        text += Q_FUNC_INFO;
        qDebug() << text;
//#ifdef LAMBDA

Maybe reading some c++ basics will help here: https://www.w3schools.com/cpp/cpp_access_specifiers.asp

@AnneRanch Here is my latest code , it seems to "navigate " up- stream as far as menus goes...

        QObject *RXobject = sender();
        RXobject->dumpObjectInfo();
        QObject *RXparent = RXobject->parent(); main "windows" menu 
        QObject *TEST_parent = RXparent->parent(); main mdiArea menu

How can I fix this:

sender()always returns a QObject *.
If you want to access members of a class inheriting from QObject, e.g. MainWindow_Bluetooth, qobject_cast is your friend. It's documentation is here.
