Is there a simpler way to send the same signal from many objects?

[spirit]

did you see this signal QMenu::triggered.
an example

...
QMenu *menu = menuBar()->addMenu("Test");
QAction *action = new QAction("1", this);
menu->addAction(action);
action = new QAction("2", this);
menu->addAction(action);
action = new QAction("3", this);
menu->addAction(action);
action = new QAction("4", this);
menu->addAction(action);
action = new QAction("5", this);
menu->addAction(action);
 
connect(menu, SIGNAL(triggered(QAction *)), SLOT(processAction(QAction *)));
...

...
QMenu *menu = menuBar()->addMenu("Test");
QAction *action = new QAction("1", this);
menu->addAction(action);
action = new QAction("2", this);
menu->addAction(action);
action = new QAction("3", this);
menu->addAction(action);
action = new QAction("4", this);
menu->addAction(action);
action = new QAction("5", this);
menu->addAction(action);

connect(menu, SIGNAL(triggered(QAction *)), SLOT(processAction(QAction *)));

Have you looked at QActionGroup - I think you make a group of QActions mutually exclusive.
