signal slot connection

Hi,
I have an application that allows allows new widgets to be created, much like an MDI interface.
I make a new menu Action when I create a new widget so the user can raise() the selected widget from a Windows Menu.

I have trouble when the user clicks on one of the menu actions.

{
 boardWindow->menuAction = new QAction(text, this);
  menuWindow->addAction(boardWindow->menuAction) ;
 
  connect(boardWindow->menuAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(selectWindow(boardWindow->menuAction->text())));
}
 
 
void MainWindow::selectWindow(QString text)
{}

{
 boardWindow->menuAction = new QAction(text, this);
  menuWindow->addAction(boardWindow->menuAction) ;

  connect(boardWindow->menuAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(selectWindow(boardWindow->menuAction->text())));
}


void MainWindow::selectWindow(QString text)
{}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I want to do something like above, pass the text or the QAction that initiated the signal. So that I can determine which one it is and thus raise() the appropriate widget.

I keep the menu Actions in a vector of class

class BoardWindow // For a new board vector.
{
  public:
    QAction* menuAction;
    boost::shared_ptr<MainBoard> mainBoard;
    int identifier; // A unique id
};

class BoardWindow // For a new board vector.
{
  public:
    QAction* menuAction;
    boost::shared_ptr<MainBoard> mainBoard;
    int identifier; // A unique id
};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Any ideas, there must be a way, probably very simple.
Thanks.
