Passing parameters to eventFilter for QLineEdit Qt

I have a QLineEdit which I set an eventFilter using installEventFilter(this). Is it possible to pass in parameters to this eventFilter? For example, I want multiple QLineEdits to all call the same eventFilter, but I need to pass in a parameter in order to be able to tell which QLineEdit box caused the event to occur.

Thanks in advance!

The sender object is already passed to eventFilter as first parameter. So you are able to determine which QLineEdit is dispatched like this:

bool eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *ev) {
    if (obj == lineEdit1) {
        // event from lineEdit1
    } else if (obj == lineEdit2) {
        // event from lineEdit2
    }
}
