how can I get a button name(id) when press it

[damat]

Why not pass it to the proc as an input parameter?

A couple of things...
1. I don't think you meant to quote $buttonId in the -label flag in your button call. You would literally get the text "$buttonId" if you do that.

2. I would create the button and get the returned unique name of it. Then just change your callback to accept a string. Then after creating the button you edit the button with the command plus the name of it. This way you really don't have to provide a name to the button at all. Your "newButton" proc can still take a string if you are going to use that as the buttons label but you don't have to also use it as the name.

Like this:


global proc someProc(string $buttonName)
{
print ("You clicked on " + $buttonName + "\n");
}

global proc newButton(string $buttonId)
{
string $buttonName = `button -l $buttonId ($buttonId + "Btn")`;
button -edit -c ("someProc " + $buttonName) $buttonName;
}


{
window;
columnLayout;

newButton "A_";
newButton "B_";
newButton "C_";
newButton "D_";
newButton "E_";

showWindow;
}
