i want to create a dynamic number of buttons, what is the preffered method of doing this? create a custom button class or something and loop through my list of names creating a new instance each time?

Yep, that would work, but whatever works best for each situation is fine.

Create a set of buttons.
If you need more, create more (remember to add to a sizer).
If you need different names, .SetLabel()
If you need fewer, .Hide() the buttons.
Dispatch action based on event.GetEventItem().GetLabel() .
Always remember to .Layout() the parent after any change.

There's nothing to prevent you from doing that. I think that Josiah's message was just to remind you that sometimes you need to do more than just create the button.
