I want to add same menu on multiple tables(SWT table). When user clicks on menu items, I want to detect the table associated with that menu. See the code below.

private void setMenu(Table table) {
        Listener popUpListener = new Listener() {

            @Override
            public void handleEvent(Event event) {
                MenuItem item = (MenuItem)event.widget;
                Menu pare = item.getParent();
                Decorations fdf = pare.getParent();
                                    //Code to get table name or instance of table.

            }
        };
        Menu menu = new Menu(table); // where table1 is your table
        MenuItem item1 = new MenuItem(menu, SWT.PUSH);
        item1.setText("Copy cell");
        item1.addListener(SWT.Selection, popUpListener);
        MenuItem item2 = new MenuItem(menu, SWT.PUSH);
        item2.setText("Copy row");
        item2.addListener(SWT.Selection, popUpListener);
        MenuItem item3 = new MenuItem(menu, SWT.PUSH);
        item3.setText("Copy column");
        item3.addListener(SWT.Selection, popUpListener);
        MenuItem item4 = new MenuItem(menu, SWT.PUSH);
        item4.setText("Copy all");
        item4.addListener(SWT.Selection, popUpListener);
        table.setMenu(menu);
    }


setMenu method is called multiple times sending the instances of table. How I can detect the table associated with the currently popped up menu in pop-up listener.

note sure if that is the currect way. but, try to add shownMenu listener
for each table, in the listener set the menu data to be your table reference
and all you got to do is:

MenuItem item = (MenuItem)event.widget;
Menu pare = item.getParent();
Table currTable = pare.getData();
