But now you are going back to that need for having these multiple case tests with an arbitrary string identifier. I don't get why you need that second string parameter.
If your argument is that you don't like the syntax of accessing self.sender() in the slot, to know the calling object, you can just pass it as an arg: # moveRequested = QtCore.pyqtSignal(int, object) ... self.moveRequested.emit(event.key(), obj) ... def moveLightItem(self, direction, selected_splitter): do something with selected_splitter # Why have all that redundant non-dynamic checks like: if widget1: do something elif widget2: do same thing elif widget3 ... That means you would have to case out an "if" for every item in a fixed amount. On Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 3:06 PM, Berg Jones <bergjo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the tips.
