How to find the control that triggered a QAction

[drmacro]

I have a bunch of sliders. When I create the sliders I give them each a name with .setObjectName and add a set of actions with .addActions.

When I right click on a slider it does as expected and calls the code specified by the definition of the action. In this case it is the same code for each action and that code dispatches to the appropriate code for the action.

How do I find the slider that actually triggered the action? (i.e. I need to read the value of the slider) (when I call .sender().objectName() it returns an empty string)

If your slot is connected to the QAction's triggered() signal, then sender() is the QAction instance, not the widget to which you added it. I don't know if there is any way to recover the pointer to the widget.
