Get the name of the button that is clicked

Hi,

Thanks to this topic, I am able to create dynamic buttons with click event.

Setting click event on dynamic button

Hi, So I have a situation where I am adding buttons in dynamically, the problem is I cant figure out how to set the “click” event on the dynamically created buttons. So at the moment I have the buttons appearing but when they are clicked nothing happens. I have searched and searched and found out how to dynamically add event handlers to them but I cant find out how to dynamically add a raise_event if they are clicked. I tried calling a function at the time of creation to assign the raise eve…

However, in the click event, is there away to get the name of the button that is clicked, so that relevant action will be taken?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I’d suggest dynamically adding a name to the tag attribute.

x = Button()
x.tag.name = 'button1'
x.set_event_handler('click', self.click)

def click(self, **event_args):
  print(event_args['sender'].tag.name)

Sometimes, if I know that my function is only raised by a click event and never called directly I will adjust the call signature.

def click(self, sender, **event_args):
  print(sender.tag.name)

@stucork

print(event_args[‘sender’].tag.name)

It works like a charm, thanks @stucork
