The line
b=dlg.AddButton(label="test")
creates a button in the variable named "b". I refer to this in my
function. The event handler should be able to use that. The bigger
problem, though, is that my event handler is supposed to print the
result of GetName() on all controls, but it only works on any default
OK and Cancel buttons created by ShowModal(). If you run it and press
enter on the test button, nothing is printed. Click the Cancel button,
though, and that button's name gets printed. This leads me to believe
that the event handler is, for some reason, not seeing my button at
all. I have been through the fruit basket demo many times, and I
thought I was following its model, using GetName() to get the control
name and then comparing and finding the control from there. Is there
something I am missing that would clear all this up? Thanks.
