I have a window with multiple tables using QTableWidget (PyQt). I created a popup menu using the right click mouse and it works fine. However, I need to create different popup menu based on which table the mouse is hovering over at the time the right mouse is clicked. How can I get the mouse to tell me which table it is hovering over?

or, put in another way, how to implement a method so as to have a specific context menu based on mouse location?

I am using Python and PyQt.

My popup menu is developed similar to this code (PedroMorgan answer from Qt and context menu):

class Foo( QtGui.QWidget ):

    def __init__(self):
        QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, None)

        # Toolbar
        toolbar = QtGui.QToolBar()

        # Actions
        self.actionAdd = toolbar.addAction("New", self.on_action_add)
        self.actionEdit = toolbar.addAction("Edit", self.on_action_edit)
        self.actionDelete = toolbar.addAction("Delete", self.on_action_delete)

        # Tree
        self.tree = QtGui.QTreeView()
        self.tree.setContextMenuPolicy( Qt.CustomContextMenu )
        self.connect(self.tree, QtCore.SIGNAL('customContextMenuRequested(const QPoint&)'), self.on_context_menu)

        # Popup Menu
        self.popMenu = QtGui.QMenu( self )
        self.popMenu.addAction( self.actionEdit )
        self.popMenu.addAction( self.actionDelete )
        self.popMenu.addSeparator()
        self.popMenu.addAction( self.actionAdd )

    def on_context_menu(self, point):
        self.popMenu.exec_( self.tree.mapToGlobal(point) )
