[Qt-interest] Which Action?

[Szalata, Zenon M.]

Thanks again,
I continued looking for an example that would show how to do this and found one in the book on QT:
"C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4, second Edition", by Jasmine Blanchette and Mark Summerfield.
Here is a snippet of how I implemented this and it works:

void MainWindow::_triggered(){
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  QAction* action=qobject_cast<QAction*>(sender());
  if(!action) return;
...
}

Where MainWIndow::_triggered() is a slot function connected with the triggered(bool) signal for all actions of interest.

In the actionTriggered() function I need to know which action triggered the call.
Is there a way to get that information in the actionTriggered() function?
Also, i suggest you look at the QMenu triggered(QAction*) signal, which sends a pointer to the QAction which has been triggered here:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qmenu.html#signals
And i believe instead of connecting each individual action to a slot, you just connect the parent menu to a slot which will be called whatever action is triggered.
